Eric Sekou Chelle, the newly appointed Head Coach of the Super Eagles, has assured Nigerians of his readiness to deliver positive results for the national team.

Speaking during his official unveiling on Monday at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, the Franco-Malian tactician acknowledged Nigerians’ high expectations for football success.

“This is an amazing job, and I know what Nigeria expects. Football is all about scoring goals. I thank the NFF, the Sports Commission, and Nigerians for this opportunity. I’m ready to work,” Chelle said.

As the 37th coach of the Super Eagles, Chelle emphasized his coaching philosophy built on discipline, calculated risk-taking, and fostering a strong rapport with players.

“Scoring goals is a mindset. We need to play aggressively and with intensity. When we lose possession, we must press high and recover the ball quickly. To succeed as a coach, you must take risks.

The Super Eagles are my favourite team, and I’m committed to building a strong connection with the players. I’ll be strict but also serve as a big brother to them,” he explained.

NFF President Ibrahim Gusau highlighted Chelle’s extensive knowledge of African football as a major reason for his appointment, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the team successfully.

“We understand Nigerians’ passion for football and have considered their opinions. Eric is here to deliver results. If he replicates what he achieved with Mali, we will qualify for the World Cup. He knows African football, and we’ll give him the necessary support,” Gusau affirmed.

Chelle will soon visit Ikenne to oversee the CHAN Eagles’ training and assess players for possible elevation to the Super Eagles squad.

National Sports Commission Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko expressed optimism about Chelle’s preparedness for the role, citing his familiarity with African football as a key advantage.

“We’re heading straight into World Cup qualifiers, and Eric is ready for the challenge. Unlike a foreign coach who might need time to adapt, Eric already understands African football. He is highly motivated and prepared to deliver,” Dikko noted.

Chelle has been appointed on a two-year contract, with a potential extension for an additional year if he qualifies Nigeria for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
