Eric Chelle, the Super Eagles’ head coach, has committed to do everything he can to assure the team’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
On Monday, Chelle was unveiled in an extravagant ceremony at the Moshood Abiola Stadium’s media conference room in Abuja.
The 47-year-old signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year.
“I want to thank my agent, the NFF, the NSC and indeed all Nigerians for this big opportunity.
“Coaching the Super Eagles of Nigeria is an amazing job; I do not take this appointment for granted. I am elated and will do my utmost best.
“Football is about scoring goals, so I favour an attacking style. I know the expectations of Nigerians and I will settle down and work diligently with my assistants towards the goal of qualifying the Super Eagles to the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the former Mali international was quoted by thenff.com.
