Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle has made a vow to Nigerians.
He vowed to do his best to ensure the team qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Chelle was unveiled at an elaborate ceremony at the media conference room of the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on Monday.
The 47-year-old signed a two-year contract with the option of another year.
“I want to thank my agent, the NFF, the NSC and indeed all Nigerians for this big opportunity.
“Coaching the Super Eagles of Nigeria is an amazing job; I do not take this appointment for granted. I am elated and will do my utmost best.
“Football is about scoring goals, so I favour an attacking style. I know the expectations of Nigerians and I will settle down and work diligently with my assistants towards the goal of qualifying the Super Eagles to the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the former Mali international was quoted by thenff.com.
Recall that the Super Eagles have endured a poor start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The West Africans are winless in Group C with three draws and one defeat.
Nigeria will be up against Rwanda and Zimbabwe when the qualifiers resume in March.
