Eric Chelle Promises to Work Hard and Help Super Eagles Qualify for 2026 World Cup
Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has pledged to give his all to secure Nigeria’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Chelle was officially introduced during a grand ceremony held at the media conference room of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja. He signed a two-year contract with the option to extend for an additional year.
In his speech, Chelle expressed gratitude for the opportunity. “I want to thank my agent, the NFF, the NSC, and all Nigerians for this big opportunity.
Coaching the Super Eagles of Nigeria is an incredible job, and I do not take this appointment lightly. I’m overjoyed and committed to doing my absolute best,” he said.
Known for his preference for attacking football, Chelle highlighted his approach to the game, saying, “Football is about scoring goals, so I favour an attacking style.
I understand the expectations of Nigerians and will work diligently with my team to achieve our shared goal of World Cup qualification.”
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
