Because of AFCON Quarter Final

which of your coaches get am?

Truidstarr:
Make all this critics go watch em matches for Afcon before dem open their mouth. His team was solid. Na this same Chelle beat Finidi for friendly match.

very solid team that even outplayed the host and eventual winners CIV but crumbled later on in the game. They even missed a PK in that game

minfelix:
even make we apologize to Amunike that was beaten in 3games at Afcon 2019 or sia sia wey no fit qualify is to Afcon 2017….Anyways i respect Amunike and Sia Sia but im sure there time will come…Keshi proved himself with togo and mali(though was poor) and landed SE job

u Dey mind am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kog45:
Big question why sacked by Mali.... let's just hope he makes it

Mali wanted him back but he refused

Kog45:
Chelle international passport read Malien

You saw it? And does it matter? The most important is what he has to offer

I’ll always support whoever is in charge until it’s clear they’ve ran out of ideas, while I think the appointment is underwhelming I’m willing to wait and see what he’s going to do but I’ll still prefer you sha 👍

Starboytwo:
Again, I reiterate that the Mali team I watched at the Afcon were very good.

My money was on Burkina Faso vs Mali at the round of 16, I expected the Burkina babes to overrun the Malians easily but the result was different. The Malians totally outplayed the Fasos... Neat, tidy, beautiful football. I lost money but I was very impressed...

Against CIV, they played better than we did CIV. They even lost a PK to consolidate things when leading 1-0. It was after the subtitutions around 80 minutes mark CIV and the crowd turned things around. Same CIV turned things around against us in the final.

I'm throwing my weight behind Mr Eric Chelle. I woke up and saw the news and I gave a thumbs up.

Yesterday we wanted a young coach. We got one.
He is charismatic and will win over y'all skeptics very soon.

All in all, I see us improving so much...

My fear is job interference from NFF bigwigs and politicians

Goke7:
Don’t worry by the time the eagles start struggling again we will all be back here to whine as usual

yes, when he starts struggling we’ll call for his head but for now we’ll support him like true fans

Same people advocating for Angolan coach are the same against chelles appointment, I've come to the realisation even if we appoint guardiola today not everyone will be satisfied, let's just hope the present coach succeeds

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Truidstarr:
Who is talking of praying oga? A coach had just been announced. He had not held his first press conference so we can get insights of his plans, neither has a ball been kicked in a competitive match yet he is been written off. So many women on here.

Don't disrespect women abeg, it's wrong to make such generalizations.

elyte89:
Though not an excuse but siasia was never giving a clean slate SE Job ..he’s always called to rescue situations ,in Wc he failed twice


Meanwhile let’s support Eric chelle as we have no choice .All hands must be on deck for this 2026 World Cup qualification

2011 wasn’t exactly a rescue job, he played most of the qualifying games

Franktom247:
Someone born by a Malian father should introduce himself to me as a French man and I should take him serious

We joke a lot in this country

French father, isn't he half-caste?

JohnBullMySon:
Funny thing is that after his last game, there wasn’t really any serious talk for him to be removed. It just started recently.

the Rwanda defeat meant he was seen as not good enough

Yes now before nko, Mujtahida go land for hospital!!!!! Charlesemeka85 sef fit get high BP.

Whuch kind mathematics u dey solve? Haha.

i really wish you will search oo,
as for AE, he is a coach i love from his 2006 days till this moment.. i will agree with you that AE is better…but comparing Chelle coaching progress at an extended afcon tournament of 24, then i will tell you Chelle has almost same winning progress ratio…

AE coached at an afcon tournament of 16 teams topped the group and qualified straight to quarterfinals, won the quarterfinal and straight to semifinals and lost.

Now same AE came back for a 24team afcon topped the group qualified to round 16 and got knocked out

Chelle played a 24 nation afcon, topped the group qualified for round 16, won and qualified for quarterfinal and lost…meaning if it were the former 16nation he would have easily breezed into the semifinals 😊🙌🏻

But they were not it at that AFCON.

minfelix:
Tunisia on their day are a fierce north african team…A team that has same world cup appearance as us

Well one thing that is easy for all of us to do is hope. But the fact is Chele's recird is poor.

WarHammer2000:
Sometimes, the food prepared at the "dirty" roadside bukas taste better than those from the five-star restaurants.

If you know, you know 😉

forgiveness:
Actually, he is a French man. His father is Franch.

Well then.

We are not patient with our own, pesero was losing friendlies back and front, we wonble and struggle to qualify for the afcon, the only positive in pesero is that he took us to the final apart from that nothing to show for it. Why can't we be patient with our own.

I always support and give every newly appointed Super Eagles coach a chance until they give me reasons not to (with their results).

Finidi George brought us here. 1 point from a possible 6 was just too poor

AE was a stop-gap measure, and the NFF never hid that.

I'm happy the rigmarole is over and we now have a substantive coach.

Welcome Eric Sekou Chelle.

May you succeed with the Super Eagles of Nigeria

The SE coaching job is presently a poisoned chalice ..no thanks to the diabolical results under JP and Finidi.

Any high profile coach accepting the job now risks taking a huge dent on his reputation. We are not in an attractive position.

The NFF have rolled the dice, I hope it works out well. fingers crossed.

I think we’ve been patient enough with AE, he has had several stints as Coach of the Supereagles I don’t think anybody is expecting him to achieve anything serious with the team

TheGoodJoe:
Personally, I think Eric Chelle's appointment is an unambitious one. Unfortunately, the NFF are cash strapped and we have to make do with whatever decision they make.

Eric Chelle is actually a coach I liked from his AFCON performance, played bright free-flowing football that entertained me. I think I made a comment about him when Mali got knocked out.

I also feel Samson Siasia is more deserving, since Amunike is now working on an interesting project at Heartland FC, I would want to see what becomes of it in the next 3-4 years.

I don't think Chelle is more of a tactician than Samson Siasia and Siasia would have easily been able to put a sound team together.

Either way, we have Eric Chelle as our coach and we need to throw our full weight behind him and hope he succeeds.

I pray he does well with the Super Eagles and have us playing breath-taking football.

I am happy ….goodjoe is back with breath taking soak up guardiola tactical views 😍🥰

Your brain too sharp, this man! Chelle will cook, we go dey here together 🔥

I remember saying I'll only support Finidi George if he beat Mali in that friendly and we all know how that turned out, we chop cain! I dey behind the man, nothing dey Che-le 🔥🇳🇬🦅

That his trademark shirt go soon carry green white green, him tailors go don dey run am now 😂

another thing, no high profile coach will accept the rumored length of contract, a one year contract reeks lack of belief in the coach’s ability

We should have just stick with our indigenous coaches. Again my apologies to them and all their ardent supporters. No thanks to the Nff

May this Francophone African qualify Nigeria for next year World Cup

Legit reports that Chelle will be paid $50000 per month while his two assistants will each pocket $5000 monthly
