NFF Appoints Eric Chelle as Head Coach to Secure Nigeria's World Cup Qualification
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has named Eric Chelle as the head coach of the Nigerian national football team following their failure to secure automatic qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Chelle replaced previous coaches Jose Peseiro and Finidi George.
Under Chelle's leadership, Nigeria achieved its first win against Rwanda and subsequent draws against South Africa and Zimbabwe. Chelle's tactics led to victories against Lesotho and Benin Republic, boosting the team's confidence.
The NFF technical committee met to discuss Chelle's future, and he is set to lead Nigeria in the upcoming playoff matches against Morocco. Chelle's coaching style has shown promise, with notable performances from players like Victor Osimhen and William Troost Ekong.
