Former Nigerian international Mutiu Adepoju has called on Super Eagles players and fans to support newly appointed head coach Eric Chelle.
Chelle, 47, was announced as the new manager by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday and is set to finalize his contract in Abuja this Sunday. The former Mali international takes charge of the team amid high expectations for success.
Speaking to Brila FM, Adepoju emphasized the importance of unity in ensuring Chelle’s tenure is fruitful. “I think the best thing we can do at the moment is for the Super Eagles to support the new coach, Eric Chelle, and hope all works out well,” he said.
Adepoju expressed confidence in the NFF’s decision, adding, “Nevertheless, I think the NFF has taken a decision, thinking that it’s the right decision.”
Chelle’s appointment comes as the Super Eagles aim to reclaim their dominance in African football and secure a strong run in upcoming tournaments.
