Eric Chelle aims to revive Super Eagles` World Cup hopes by leveraging support from Nigerian legends.

Eric Sekou Chelle has been appointed as the new head coach of Nigeria`s national soccer team, the Super Eagles, as of January 8, 2025. He replaces Augustine Eguavoen and faces the critical challenge of reviving Nigeria`s faltering World Cup qualification campaign. The Super Eagles have had a rocky start, failing to secure a win in their first four matches, which included draws against Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and South Africa, alongside a damaging loss to Benin Republic.

To keep their World Cup dreams alive, Nigeria must win their next two matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. A failure to achieve victories in these crucial games would severely diminish their chances of qualifying for the tournament. Chelle has reached out to former Nigerian legends such as Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Okocha, Mikel Obi, and Vincent Enyeama, hoping their experience and leadership will inspire the current squad. Winning all six remaining matches is essential for the Super Eagles to maintain any hope of participating in the World Cup. The pressure is mounting, but Chelle`s strategy of involving national icons could provide the much-needed morale boost for the team.
