Eric Chelle

Eric Chelle is the coach of the Nigeria 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, a dominant 4-0 win against Mozambique in the last-16, and now preparing to face Algeria in the quarterfinal. Nigeria's progress in the tournament, coupled with reports of internal strife involving star player Victor Osimhen and alleged unpaid bonuses, puts Chelle under scrutiny. His performance as coach is significant as Nigeria aims to win the AFCON 2025 after failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
