New Super Eagles coach Éric Chelle, who was unveiled in Abuja on Monday, has assured Nigerians that his team will prioritise attacking football, as he believes scoring goals is the essence of the game.
Speaking at his unveiling ceremony at the MKO Abiola National Stadium on Monday, Chelle expressed gratitude to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the opportunity to lead one of Africa’s most successful national teams. The Franco-Malian tactician emphasised his philosophy of favouring an aggressive, forward-thinking approach on the pitch.
“Football is about scoring goals, so I favour an attacking style,” Chelle said. “I know the expectations of Nigerians, and I will settle down to work diligently with my assistants toward the goal of qualifying the Super Eagles for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”
NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, praised Chelle’s confidence and assured him of full support to achieve success with the Super Eagles.
