Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Dismisses Morocco Link

The media officer for the Super Eagles, Efogh, has responded to reports from Moroccan television outlet Le7tv that linked head coach Eric Chelle to a potential contract with Wydad Casablanca, suggesting he was close to replacing the club's current manager, Amin Benhachem. Efogh characterized these reports as false and emphasized that the Malian tactician, Chelle, remains committed to his responsibilities with the Nigerian national team.

This comes after Chelle's impressive performance led Nigeria to a third-place finish in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The 48-year-old coach's current contract with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) extends until January 2027, reinforcing his focus on the national team amidst speculation regarding his future.
