Not sure about this appointment.

Don't know his pedigree.
The man seen world wide receiving water on his head when his team conceded a goal in a dying minute of the quarterfinal in the last nations cup. He became an instant internet meme.

I did not underate him. Infact am happy that this time around, NFF went for an African foreign coach and not the usual white people!

I just needed a good nigerian home-based club coaches. Not even our former players. A good coach who has coached our nigerian based clubs and knows what he is doing.

All those foreign(White/black) and former nigerian players being appointed, are all political endorsement which wont work!
beejay85:
Don't underrated any coach be it white / black.
The home based coach Appiah Ghana rejected ended their afcon journey with Sudan....ordinary Sudan oooo even beating Ghana in Acrra.
Now Ghanians Accra-ing grin grin

Goodmorning.

Scroll down or scroll up inside this thread to a monicker called beejay85, who i responded to at 3:12am. I wrote something to him, concerning this particular matter.
Sleekfingers:
Mention the good Nigerian coach or coaches.....
1. Finidi George was appointed you guys threw him under the bus .
2. Austin Eguavon is getting tongue lashed
3. Some people said, the should appoint Amunike. I don't know why he should be given the job .
4. Sunday oliseh was heavily criticized

. Do Nigerians really know what they want? I don't think so......

NFF always looking for coaches with little or no history of achievements to take care of the eagles shocked
So that they can owe them salaries,no be Nigeria again🙁🙁

shows all the people at nff are not well exposed.
Most, if not all the current super eagles players are bigger than this guy, they will call bluff of him. Even Siasia is far better than this one
Re: NFF Appoints Éric Chelle As Super Eagles Head Coach by youngrichnigga: 4:43am On Jan 08, 2025
Fraud.......basic success factors lacking from the beginning. Communication is key in a trainers portfolio; a Malian who speaks French will definitely have issues getting across to the players except with an interpreter; remember our past foreign coaches that had to be provided with interpreters angry angry angry

I endorse this appointment. The guy is good. And with the plethora of talents we have at the disposal of our National team, he can bring the best out of them if our politicians don't begin to want to influence his decisions as is their usual corrupt tradition👏!
it's not about the guy been good, the question is will the Nigerian players with their pride obey and follow instructions from the man. SE players are arrogant and feel they're bigger than the coach once they feel they had a better playing career or earn more than him.

NFF on their own part will want to decide who plays for the coach. The problem is the NFF and SE players
Re: NFF Appoints Éric Chelle As Super Eagles Head Coach by Elidrisy20: 5:12am On Jan 08, 2025
All we want is victory for the Eagles
Re: NFF Appoints Éric Chelle As Super Eagles Head Coach by Lanre1st(m): 5:36am On Jan 08, 2025
I wish him best of luck.

But it funny, you sack a coach that guided Super Eagle to CAF final and hire a coach that his highest achievement is guiding Mali to CAF quarter-final.

Why can't you tie the previous coach down with new contract and try to improve him

The issue of adherence and total compliance by the SE players, especially the foreign based ones, is one of concern as well. But Chelle's stint with Mali has proven him to be a dynamic tactician and a good man-manager. So it is hoped that those credentials will be brought to bear on his campaigns with the SE.

Mali played brilliant football.
yes a bit against the ivorians, at the quarter finals even though they eventually lost but they played a slightly compact football.

How is this an improvement on Eguavoen?
This is just a strategy of planning to fail by the corrupt individuals in the Nigeria Football Federation.

I hope so, Most SE players especially foreign based are so arrogant, proud and indisciplined. They play without commitment, zeal and passion.

I hope he can manage the team well.

If you can't differentiate, then you must be stark illiterate.

By the way, why so obsessed with Igbo affairs?

Nigeria is not going to the world cup......The new coach made a terrible mistake by accepting the job.....
My thought too.
Nigeria not going to world cup.

Hiring this man is a misnomer. Maybe, they want to use him to cash out.

Our team B Super Eagles coaches were doing well. With synergy between Remo Stars coach and Ilechukwu of Enugu Rangers,sky was the limit. Qualified us for CHAN after six years absence. What again. They only needed encouragement from the football Body to Excel.

Federal government should stop the appointment.

Our own eghuavon has good credentials more than this guy.
