Eric Chelle Sends Message to NFF Amid Sack Rumours After CHAN
Eric Chelle, the current coach of the Nigerian national football team, has sent a message to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) amid rumors of his potential sacking after the African Nations Championship (CHAN). Chelle took over as the Super Eagles' coach in January, succeeding Finidi George, who had resigned.
Despite a poor start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, Chelle remains determined to turn things around. Following a disappointing performance at CHAN 2024, where Nigeria was eliminated in the group stage, there have been speculations about Chelle's future with the team.
However, he has remained unfazed by the rumors and issued a warning to the NFF. Chelle, who previously coached Mali and Algerian club MC Oran, is focused on improving the team's performance in upcoming matches.
Nigeria is set to face Rwanda and South Africa in the World Cup qualifiers, with Chelle aiming to secure positive results.
