Eric Chelle

Eric Chelle is the coach of the Nigerian national football team. He is newsworthy due to Nigeria's participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Recent events include Nigeria securing a quarterfinal spot after a 4-0 win against Mozambique, a 2-1 victory against Tanzania in their opening match, and facing Algeria in the quarterfinal. The team's preparations for the Algeria match have been reportedly affected by speculation about internal strife, including reports of unpaid bonuses and issues involving star striker Victor Osimhen. Chelle's performance as coach is under scrutiny, especially after Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, making the AFCON performance crucial for his position and Nigeria's footballing reputation.
