Eric Chelle

Eric Chelle is the coach of the Nigerian national football team. He is newsworthy due to Nigeria's participation in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025, where they have reached the quarterfinal stage. Recent events include Nigeria securing a 2-1 victory against Tanzania in their opening match, followed by a dominant 4-0 win against Mozambique in the last-16, propelled by a brace from Victor Osimhen. However, Nigeria's preparations for their quarterfinal clash against Algeria have been overshadowed by reports of internal strife, including alleged unpaid bonuses and issues involving star striker Victor Osimhen. Chelle's role is significant as he navigates these challenges while aiming to lead Nigeria to success in the tournament after failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
