Eric Chelle Hopes For A Winning Start as Super Eagles Take On Rwanda
Eric Chelle is set to kick off his tenure as head coach of the Super Eagles with a strong start as they face Rwanda’s Amavubi on Friday. The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, which marks matchday five, will take place at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
This will be Chelle’s first game since taking over as head coach in January. The 47-year-old had just three training sessions with the team to prepare for this important clash.
The Super Eagles are yet to secure a win in Group C after four matches, sitting in fifth place with three points. Chelle will be hoping to turn things around and cause a revival for the team.
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.”
