Eric Chelle Secures New Super Eagles Contract with NFF
Eric Chelle's extended contract as head coach of the Super Eagles has been revealed, featuring a salary increase from $50,000 to $75,000 per month. The Nigeria Federation (NFF) first appointed Chelle in January 2024 on a two-year contract.
Despite the Super Eagles' failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the NFF decided to extend his contract, which now includes responsibilities for coaching Nigeria's Under-23 team, the Dream Team, for the Los Angeles 2028 qualifiers. The new agreement runs until August 2028.
The NFF will also cover the payment of Chelle's coaching staff, which he previously funded himself, allowing him to lower his salary demand from $130,000 to the agreed $75,000. A condition for his continued tenure, a fully furnished apartment in Abuja, has been met.
However, the contract has not yet been formally signed due to delays in finalizing the NFF's leadership structure.
