NFF didn't have the cash for any high profile coach, they were just "courting" the government with big names, and the then sport minister made it known to them government not paying a dime. They don't really trust local coaches and Finidi case made it worst. Chris Hughton was on $50k salary when he was coaching Black Stars, that should be okay for NFF, but they went for Chelle, maybe more cheaper. To be honest, he did well with Mali. He was unlucky with the 3 matches he lost out of 22.
Bros, I am happy you are back. Happy New year sir.

Oga you need to change your lawyers, they are doing a poor job representing you, imagine we settling for this shege of a shelle

Eric Chelle accepted $55k salary.

Will Domenec Torrent accept that figure?

minfelix:
maybe after winning games for us possibly the next 3straight WCQ matches, our boys should start a trade mark end of match celebration of pouring water on his head to cool his steaming hardworking v16 turbo kasongo engine…🤣🤣 hope he wont find it offensive

semid4lyfe:
For me, it's even pointless for people to be wailing over the NFF choice of a foreign coach

We need to accept the reality that certain coaches are above our league, and the half-decent coaches within our price range will opt for other African countries (even with less football pedigree) with a better & more organized football administrative structure.

That's the reason a Tom Saintfient will rather sign to coach Mali ahead of us.

As fans, we owe it a duty to support our National team no matter who's in charge.

I'm hopeful Eric Chelle will do well.

He played exciting football with Mali, got some decent results and I expect he'll replicate same with the Super Eagles.

minfelix:
sir Eric Chelle, 1 immediate assignment…just help us win Rwanda away and Zimbabwe home..:we go.
o pari

I assure you on behalf of my client (Chelle) that he will get the job done.

All of you on this thread, I've conveyed your fears to my client. He has vowed to prove naysayers like Jobie and Goke7 wrong. Time will tell.

As for those who believe, go and start getting reading for Mundial next year. If Nigeria does not go, another African country will go. Your faith and your money will not waste. Amen

Heyyy hold it, hold it there!! Client wasn't paying, what do you expect? Majoribanks said it several times, no envelope, no job.

If you must know, I facilitated this job for Chelle now he's chilling.

My ex-client will be contacted by Ikorodu FC next week. That's the best I could do for him in the circumstances.

Subzerooo:
I'm sure the conversation around Chelle would be different if he had a lighter shade of skin, I watched this man's Mali's side and they played one of the most beautiful football in Afcon incredibly unlucky to go out, the other white coaches we have been appointing have not had a push back such as this despite having next to nothing on their cv

minfelix:
If this is true let him grab the offer and go…make he resign from that technical Director work abeg

EEGA:
If he accepts the role, he will need competent assistants including a game reader, because his biggest flaw has always been his subs.


His reaction to a draw or when the team is losing has always left much to be desired.

His assistants has always assisted him in that regard.

ChrisKels:
I think Ideye is fast proving his fitness and form since joining Enyimba, and it will make sense to have such an experienced striker in the Eagles mix, especially as our back up strikers haven't really been up there in the absence of Osimhen.

3 reason why
Eric Chelle:was chosen

1. High success rate with Mali

Under his leadership, Mali recorded 13 wins, five draws, and only three losses, a statistic that highlights his ability to extract consistent results from his teams.


2. He is known for attacking football, often deploying a 4-3-3 or a 4-3-1-2 formation that emphasizes high pressing, quick transitions, and creative runs in behind.

His teams are characterized by their flexibility, adapting shapes and strategies to exploit opponents’ weaknesses.

3.A cost-effective solution
Financial constraints have played a significant role in the NFF’s coaching decisions in recent years.

After parting ways with Portuguese manager José Peseiro, who reportedly earned €50,000 per month, the federation struggled to meet the financial demands of high-profile candidates like Hervé Renard and Tom Saintfiet.

Jieta2:
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.

elyte89:
