Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Committee has approved the appointment of Éric Sékou Chelle as the new Head Coach of Nigeria’s senior men’s national football team, the Super Eagles.

The decision was formally endorsed by the NFF Executive Committee on January 7, 2025, following the recommendation of the NFF’s Technical and Development Sub-Committee during its meeting held in Abuja on January 2, 2025.

The 47 year-old brings a wealth of experience to the role, having managed clubs such as GS Consolat, FC Martigues, Boulogne, and MC Oran.

He also has international coaching experience, having led Mali’s senior national team to the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.

During his playing career in France, Chelle represented several clubs, including Martigues, Valenciennes, Lens, Istres, and Chamois Niortais.

Born in Côte d’Ivoire to a French father and a Malian mother, Chelle was eligible to represent Côte d’Ivoire, France, and Mali. He opted for Mali, earning five caps before retiring.

As Mali’s head coach from 2022 to 2024, Chelle recorded an impressive 14 wins, five draws, and three losses.

His tenure with Mali ended in June 2024.

Chelle’s appointment as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles comes after Finidi George’s resignation following disappointing results in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Chelle’s appointment is effective immediately, and his primary task will be to guide Nigeria to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals.

The crucial Matchday 5 and 6 qualifiers are scheduled for March. (vitalnewsngr.com)
