The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will on Monday unveil Eric Chelle as the head coach of the Super Eagles.

Chelle, who was appointed a few days ago, will be unveiled at the media conference room of the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

Chelle has been given the responsibility of guiding the Super Eagles to earn a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, with the next round of matches (Matchdays 5 and 6) in March.

Chelle won five caps for the Aiglons of Mali and coached clubs such as GS Consolat, FC Martigues, Boulogne and MC Oran.

At the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cote d’Ivoire, Chelle led Mali to a place in the semi-finals, losing to hosts and eventual winners Cote d’Ivoire 2-1 after extra time, after leading by a lone goal until the final minute of regulation time.
