Eric Chelle, the newly-appointed head coach of the Super Eagles, is set to arrive in Nigeria on Sunday to finalize his contract. He will be joined by three of his trusted assistants. According to DAILY POST, the assistants were present when he coached Mali’s Eagles and more recently the Algerian club MC Oran. The 47-year-old was appointed as the head coach of the Super Eagles by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday. The young coach faces the challenging responsibility of securing a spot for the Super Eagles in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the USA. The Super Eagles have yet to win a match in Group C after four games. They will play against the Amavubi of Rwanda away when the qualifiers restart in March.
