AFCON: Eric Chelle Speaks On Getting Sacked After Super Eagles Loss To Morocco

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has suggested he might step down from his role after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Eric Chelle spoke following Nigeria’s 4-2 loss to Morocco in Wednesday’s semi-final.

Speculation over the 48-year-old’s future with the national team had been circulating even before the tournament began.

When asked about his plans, Chelle said his attention was on the third-place match against Egypt on Saturday.

“For now, I am still the coach of the Super Eagles. I have a game against Egypt and I want to win,” he said.

Chelle was also asked about the decision to start Raphael Onyedika in place of suspended captain Wilfred Ndidi.

He responded: “This is not a question about one player, it’s about the group.”
