Nigeria’s head coach, Eric Chelle has reportedly become a top target for other African national teams following the Super Eagles’ eye-catching performances at AFCON 2025.

According to Punch and several other credible reports, Chelle’s tactical intelligence and ability to get the best out of his players have drawn widespread admiration across the continent. His impressive work with Nigeria has now placed him on the shortlist of multiple football associations.

Tunisia are believed to be seriously interested in the Super Eagles boss, while Mali, a nation Chelle previously managed, are also considering a possible return for the coach.
