Moses Simon Backs Eric Chelle as Super Eagles Coach

Moses Simon, a winger for the Nigerian national football team, has expressed his support for Eric Chelle to remain as the head coach. Simon praised Chelle's leadership and the unity he has brought to the squad.

Reports suggest that Chelle's current two-year contract, which is set to expire at the end of the year, may be extended. The Nigeria Football Federation is reportedly finalizing a new agreement that would keep Chelle in charge beyond his current deal, with a proposed salary of $100,000 per month.

This extension is part of a broader technical restructuring plan aimed at long-term goals, including winning the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations and qualifying for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Simon highlighted Chelle's ability to earn the trust and commitment of the players, noting that under his guidance, the team has restored confidence following a challenging period.

The Super Eagles are currently on an unbeaten run in competitive matches.
