Nigerian Coach Eric Chell to Undergo Training at Top European Club Ahead of AFCON

20 Jan 2026

Nigerian national team head coach Eric Chell is set to undergo additional training at a top European club following arrangements made by former NFF President Amaju Pinnick. Pinnick revealed that Chell will undertake an internship to enhance his technical abilities after Nigeria's third-place finish in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The move has received support from FIFA's technical head Arsene Wenger. NFF President Ibrahim Gusau has praised Chell's work since taking charge in January 2024, highlighting the team's success under his leadership.

The Super Eagles have shown impressive results, remaining unbeaten in seven matches and achieving their highest-ever tally of 14 goals in a single AFCON tournament. With key player Wilfred Ndidi back in the squad, Chell's emphasis on stability and continuity bodes well for the team's future success.
