Eric Chelle Offered $100K Monthly Salary to Leave Super Eagles for World Cup Role

Nigerian head coach Eric Chelle has been offered a substantial $100,000 monthly salary by the Tunisian Football Federation to lead their national team for the 2026 World Cup. This offer comes as Tunisia aims to lure Chelle away from Nigeria following his successful run with the Super Eagles at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Tunisian federation's move follows their elimination in the round of 16 at AFCON 2025, leading to the sacking of coach Sami Trabelsi. Despite the lucrative offer, Chelle remains focused on Nigeria's upcoming AFCON 2025 semifinal against Morocco.
