Nigeria’s Football Federation (NFF) and Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle agree a new contract, according to multiple reports. The agreement is reached during a meeting at the National Sports Commission (NSC) headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday. NSC leadership, including Chairman Shehu Dikko and Director-General Bukola Olopade, attends alongside NFF President Ibrahim … (as reported). The deal ends months of uncertainty over Chelle’s future with the national team, as the NSC confirms the extension.
One outlet also reports that Chelle’s new terms include an improved salary and expanded responsibilities linked to Nigeria’s U23 programme, in addition to continuing as head coach of the Super Eagles. Another outlet describes the NSC confirmation as settling the question of whether Chelle will remain in charge. While specific financial figures vary by outlet, all accounts present the same core outcome: Chelle is set to continue leading the Super Eagles under a newly agreed contract with the NFF, following formal confirmation by the NSC.
