Eric Chelle Dares NFF: ‘Pay Me Off If You Want Me Out’ As Rwanda Clash Looms

Eric Chelle has challenged the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to pay him off if they want him to step down as the coach, as his future with the team comes under scrutiny after their recent disappointing performance. The Eagles suffered defeats against Senegal and Sudan, leading to an early exit from the group stage and sparking debates about Chelle's suitability to lead Nigeria in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Chelle, a former Mali international, has not received any public comments from the NFF about his position. The attention has now shifted to the upcoming clash against Rwanda in the World Cup qualifiers, with the Amavubi team expected to arrive in Uyo on September 3.
Nigeria will be looking to secure maximum points after being stunned by Rwanda in their last visit to Uyo in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
