Former Nigeria star wishes success to Eric Chelle with Super Eagles

Many Nigerian fans praised the decision of the Nigerian Football Federation to appoint veteran Eric Chelle as the coach of the first football team after a period when the team lived without a head coach and the former coach was an interim coach to run the team's business until the appointment of a permanent coach for the team.

Alloy Agu, The Legend of the Nigerian national team and who was crowned with them at the 1994 African Nations Championship, said that he would be pleased to support the coach Chelle, the coach from Mali was appointed this week as the 37th coach in the history of the Nigerian national team, and he is expected to live a good coaching experience due to his experience with African football.

"I am delighted that the NFF has appointed a new coach in Eric Chelle to manage the Super Eagles. Many may doubt Chelle, but the NFF must have their reasons for his appointment, and I believe he will succeed with the senior national team if given the free hand to operate.

Impossible is nothing when it comes to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. With the right attitude from the players and coaches, I feel very optimistic that Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup" Alloy Agu said.
