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.”
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.”
