Osimhen Excited to Train Under New Super Eagles Coach Chelle
Victor Osimhen has expressed excitement about training under the new Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle.
The Super Eagles are set to regroup this weekend for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. This will be the first time most of the players will be meeting the Malian coach.
Chelle had previously traveled to Europe in January, where he met with players like Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, and Moses Simon.
“I’ve spoken with him a few times and I understand the goals he has for the team and the players,” Osimhen told BBC Sports Africa. The Super Eagles have yet to secure a win in the qualifiers and currently sit fifth in Group C.
Osimhen stressed the importance of teamwork and determination to qualify for the World Cup. “Winning matches isn’t just about the coach. The players need to give their best, stay focused, and work together to achieve our goal,” said the Galatasaray striker.
It has been reported that seven countries have already confirmed their places in the Round of 16 at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

American boxing star, Jake Paul, reacted to the news about Anthony Joshua’s car crash and expressed concern.
The boxer expressed his concern and stated that “life is more important than boxing.”
It was revealed that the car crash also took the lives of two passengers in Anthony’s vehicle in Ogun State.
Head coach of the Super Eagles team, Eric Chelle, revealed part of his plan for Nigeria’s next match at the AFCON against Uganda.
He shared that some players who are not yet used to the tournament will get a chance to play.
“For the rotation, once again I keep it for myself. Many players, like Raphael Onyedika, are really good and deserve to be on this team,” he said.
“But every time I have to make a decision, I can honestly say they deserve a chance to play.”
