NFF Considers Nigerian Legends as New Super Eagles Coach
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly considering Nigerian legends as potential replacements for coach Eric Chelle amid plans to sack him. Chelle's tenure with the Super Eagles may end if the team fails to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
