Not for missing penalty but for being unpatriotic and inciting it jokingly amongst his colleagues.
that was just locker room banter, I wonder how you guys have lots of smoke for the players but can’t even save some for the NFF who constantly shamelessly owe players and coaches, these actions can’t make anyone patriotic, Eric chelle is not a Nigerian you can’t owe him and expect patriotism from him.

Nigeria with their drama. NFF doing business and making money hiring foreign coach on top Nigeria football future.

Satguru Maharajji warned NFF against ERIC CHELE before the nations cup. With CHELE Nigeria will not carry the nations cup.

In a statement on social media, Satguru Maharaj Ji asserted that Eric Chelle's "vibration is too low" to lead the Super Eagles effectively and that a black coach should take over the role. This came amid various reactions to Chelle's performance and the team's struggles in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

He truly deserves it. I haven’t seen the Super Eagles play so well until recently.
I hope the NFF pays him all his accrued bonuses and does not owe his salary, as we have seen in recent years with other gaffers.
.. NFF will still owe him his salaries.. NFF can never change

Forget abeg. Any money that's owed will eventually be paid. Just do your job. Simple. Is he hungry?

Na lagos and Ogun state weak me. They both should have world class stadia
The only space lagos can build a new stadium is at ibeju lekki, but not for now , they tried taking national stadium from the Fg but they refused , I hope now that BAT is in control they can revive interest in national stadium Surulere.

it isn’t about being hungry, if we always demand patriotism from the players by asking them to give their all no matter what, how then do we demand patriotism from the NFF?

The coach tried, especially when compared to his two predecessors. At least we witnessed attacking football that brought the potential of our players to the fore.

He only disappointed me in the semi-final match against Morocco, where he played with too much respect for the host team.

Nigerian players have the quality to play an open game against any team on the continent.

All the same, I support his continuation and hope he builds on this experience and achievement going forward.

supported, a very anyhow player, unserious player, with no ambition.

Chewing gum to play penalty after been on the bench for over 90 mins.

The guy isn't doing badly really... Just that he needs replacing rejig his tactical approaches to (before and during) games.

The nff has enough money right now so they don't have no reason to owe him.

Eric Chelle has my support to continue as the Super Eagles coach. He is good.

If he's not willing to play, he should leave and allow other better players play. There are so many passionate Nigerian footballers looking for that opportunity he has and are unlucky. He should never wear that Jersey again. He's not worthy of it. Leave NFF out of this please.

the NFF is the giant part of the puzzle, the most important aspect who gets to decide the future of Nigerian football yet you are saying we should leave the NFF out of it , you have a football federation that does nothing for football no functional academy, the local legue is a mess, can’t even pay players salary which is the basics yet you say we should leave them out of it.

That man should prepare our boys for next year; another AFCON is coming. BTW, how come no state is building world-class stadium in Nigeria? Does it mean we don't want to host major tournaments anymore?

Your comments about football stinks to the high heavens. Better rest.

Bad decision which they will regret. He is not tactically sound. All i see is a trial and error coach. If he was that good Mali wouldn't have parted ways with him

Even top coaches get sacked all the time...for losing games.

It does not mean they are not good tactically sound.

That same Mali, is begging him to come back home and he told them they should forget about it because of the way they humiliated him when the sacked him and that he is very very happy where he is.

He is smart because countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Ivory cost have a vast array of and a steady pipeline of top players that he can build a good team with....that can actually compete to win competitions and not just partake.

I wish him the best. His team is the best we have seen in the last 20 years and it will keep improving.
