Eric Chelle Blows Hot Amid Reports of Possible Sack Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has responded to reports suggesting he could be sacked ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. The Nigerian national team is set to face Rwanda and South Africa in crucial matches.
Chelle, who recently signed a deal with the NFF, is under pressure as the team sits fourth in their qualifying group. Concerns have been raised about his tactics, player selection, and lack of preparation, especially after a poor performance in the 2024 Africa Nations Championship.
