NFF to unveil Éric Chelle as Super Eagles’ Head Coach on Monday

Posted : 13 January 2025

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will, on Monday, in the Federal Capital, Abuja, present to the public the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles, Mr. Éric Sékou Chelle.


The event is scheduled to take place in the Media Conference Room of the MKO Abiola National Stadium at 11 a.m.


Chelle’s appointment was confirmed on Tuesday by the NFF Executive Committee, following a recommendation from the football ruling body’s Technical and Development Committee.


The 47-year-old is set to occupy one of the hottest seats in world football. However, the President of the NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, stated on Sunday that the Franco-Malian coach embodies the fresh energy, innovative thinking, and positive attitude that the Federation desires for the Super Eagles as they prepare to confront their remaining six matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.


“We understand that Nigerians are very passionate about football, which is why there have been varying reactions following the appointment of Coach Chelle. Nevertheless, the NFF appeals to Nigerians to unite and support him, as we believe he possesses the qualities needed to achieve success with the Super Eagles. 


"The NFF will provide him with all the necessary support to ensure his success in this role.”


At Monday’s unveiling, the NFF will also announce the names of Coach Chelle’s assistants. The coaching crew will guide the Super Eagles B team at next month’s African Nations Championship in East Africa before shifting their focus entirely to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, starting with matches against Rwanda (away) and Zimbabwe (home) in March.


Chelle, who guided Mali’s Aiglons to within touching distance of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, left his position at top Algerian side MC Oran – 1989 African Champions’ Cup finalists – to join the Super Eagles.
