Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, has completed one year in his role since being appointed to the Nigerian national team.
The Malian was announced by the Nigeria Football Federation as the coach of the Nigeria Senior Football National Team, the Super Eagles, on January 7, 2025.
The appointment followed a string of disappointments, with Finidi George's brief four-game stint in July 2024 yielding just one win.
Interim coach Austine Eguavoen, despite securing qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), could not salvage the team's World Cup hopes.
