Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle has admitted his future with the Super Eagles is uncertain following their semifinal defeat to host nation Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat on Wednesday.
The Super Eagles were knocked out of the tournament after a tense 4-2 penalty shootout loss to Morocco.
Both teams played a goalless draw after 120 minutes of play and could only settle the match with a penalty shootout.
Following the defeat, the Super Eagles will now battle for a third-place position, facing Egypt on Saturday.
Chelle speaks about his future
Speaking to the media in his post-match press conference, Chelle was candid about his position beyond the current tournament.
"Now, I don't know my future," he stated. "I know I am the coach of Nigeria. Maybe in two days, my president will tell me it is finished, or maybe that I have to continue. I don't know."
Despite the heartbreaking loss, Chelle expressed immense pride in his squad, insisting that Nigeria had been the top-performing side in the competition.
He called on his players to use their disappointment as motivation for the upcoming match against Egypt.
