Nigeria national team head coach Eric Sekou Chelle could take charge at Marseille.
Details: According to MZ, intermediaries have put forward the coach's candidacy to the French club's management in recent days. Chelle himself is reportedly extremely excited by the opportunity and is ready to leave his post with the national team for the challenge of Ligue 1.
It is reported that coaching Marseille has long been a dream for the current boss of the Nigerian "Super Eagles." Chelle sees this project as a chance to fulfill his ambitions of building a modern footballing side. The coach makes no secret of his desire to instill an attacking style and establish an effective youth development system based on the best European practices.
At this stage, Marseille's management is considering the proposed option and is in talks with Chelle's intermediaries.
Reminder: Last night, Roberto De Zerbi was dismissed as Marseille head coach.
