NFF will decide my future as Super Eagles coach – Chelle

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has stated that his future with the national team rests solely in the hands of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The 48-year-old tactician signed a two-year contract with the NFF in January 2025 with a clear mandate to guide the Super Eagles to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, Nigeria’s campaign at AFCON 2025 ended at the semi-final stage after a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout defeat to tournament hosts Morocco at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Wednesday night.

Speaking after the encounter, Chelle made it clear he remains eager to continue his work with the team, but acknowledged that the decision on his future lies with the Federation.

“My future, I don’t know for now. I am the coach of Nigeria at this moment, but it depends on whether the NFF want me to continue or not,” he said after the game with Morocco.

“The tournament is not over yet. After the AFCON, I will meet with the NFF and we will decide the next step.”
