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.
Despite a win against Congo, the team struggled in other matches, leading to criticism of Chelle. The coach has acknowledged the challenges but remains focused on the upcoming fixtures.
The decision on his future with the team may depend on the results of the upcoming matches.
