After being named head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle has expressed his happiness.
After his unveiling on Monday, Chelle began his reign with the three-time African champions.
The former Mali international was unveiled by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) at the media conference room of the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
The 47-year-old has been the Super Eagles’ 42nd coach.
“I’m so proud and honoured to be the new Super Eagles head coach.
“Nigeria has a great history with quality players like Ikpeba, Amokachi, Amuneke, Yekini, Oliseh, Eguavoen, Finidi, West, Obi Mikel and Babangida,” Chelle said at his unveiling.
“I was a fan then and with this new generation too, Lookman, Osimhen and others.”
Additionally, Chelle pledged to turn the Super Eagles into a goal-scoring team.
“I love scoring goals. My teams are never lacking in goals, and the Super Eagles will be no exception – we will score goals,” he added.
