AFCON: Chelle reveals what he’ll do if NFF retains him as Nigeria coach

Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has revealed what he will do if the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, decides to retain him after the end of the AFCON tournament in Morocco.

Chelle led Nigeria to the semi-final stage before they lost to the host nation, Morocco.

Chelle’s men will take on Egypt on Saturday evening in a third-place playoff.

The Malian, who was appointed in January 2025, said he would bring in new players to the national team if the NFF retains him after the 2025 AFCON.

“If God gives me the chance to be the coach after this tournament, I’ve to bring some players,” Chelle said at his pre-match interview.

“My dream is to have twenty-two players, and all of them can take on the opposition. There is a lot of work to achieve that.”
