Chelle Believes Super Eagles Are Ready to Fight for the 2025 AFCON Title
Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has expressed confidence that his team is ready to make a strong run at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian team, which has won the prestigious tournament three times, is set to face tough opponents in Group C, with Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania as their group mates.
Chelle, who took over as head coach just earlier this month, acknowledged the difficulty of the task ahead, knowing that each of the 24 teams in the competition brings formidable talent and experienced coaches.
However, he remains optimistic, stating that his team is highly motivated and determined to go for the title.
“I understand the challenges ahead, but I believe we have a squad hungry for revenge, and I’m also out for revenge. This will make the journey exciting,” Chelle said.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
