Super Eagles Head Coach Eric Chelle
Eric Chelle, the Super Eagles’ head coach, has stated that he made specific demands to the Nigeria Football Federation, (NFF), regarding a new contract.
Chelle has been in negotiations with the National Sports Commission (NSC) since leading the team to third place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in January.
However, some information was leaked to the media.
Reports claimed Chelle asked for €130,000 monthly alongside improved working conditions.
Chelle has now confirmed the circulated document is authentic and questioned how it became public.
“Today, if I’m being honest, I don’t really know. The first question I ask myself is how this document could have ended up in the media. That’s the question I’m asking myself,” he said in an interview with histoiresdefootpodcast.
Chelle also explained that the salary figure was in dollars, not euros.
And according to the Malian, the amount would cover the wages of his technical crew. (The Sun)
