Newly appointed Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle remains optimistic about Nigeria’s path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
At his unveiling in Abuja, Chelle emphasized his commitment to an offensive strategy:
“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 assistants towards the goal of qualifying the Super Eagles to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”
Currently, Nigeria stands second from the bottom in their qualifying group, having secured just three points. The team faces crucial matches ahead, including an away game against Rwanda and a home fixture versus Zimbabwe in March.
Chelle’s appointment comes with a two-year contract, focusing on revitalizing the team’s performance and securing a spot in the upcoming World Cup.
As the Super Eagles gear up for these pivotal encounters, fans are hopeful that Chelle’s attacking philosophy will translate into the much-needed victories to advance on the road to 2026.
