The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially unveiled Eric Chelle as the new head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The ceremony was held on Monday (Today) at the media conference room of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
Last week, the NFF confirmed Chelle’s appointment, making him the 42nd substantive head coach of the Super Eagles.
A former Mali international, the 47-year-old has been tasked with reviving Nigeria’s faltering 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Super Eagles are currently in fifth place in Group C, with three points from four matches and are yet to secure a victory in the qualifiers.
