Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has revealed that his future with the Nigerian national team will be determined after crucial discussions with the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF. The Malian tactician made this known while addressing journalists at Wednesday night’s post-match press conference, where he openly expressed his desire to continue in his role as Nigeria’s head coach, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Chelle, who guided the Super Eagles through their recent campaign, stressed that while he is personally committed to the team, the final decision lies with the football authorities. The former Mali international spoke passionately about his bond with the Super Eagles and Nigeria, describing himself as someone who genuinely identifies with the team and its ambitions.

“I have said several times that I am a fan of the Super Eagles,” Chelle said. “Right now, I am the Super Eagles, but the outcome of the meeting with the NFF will determine my future with the team.”

His comments come amid increasing speculation surrounding his position, with the NFF expected to carry out a full review of Nigeria’s recent performances. The federation is also set to outline its long-term plans for the national team as preparations begin for upcoming international competitions.

For now, Chelle remains focused on his responsibilities, hopeful that talks with the NFF will lead to continuity, as the Super Eagles look to build on recent progress and restore their status among Africa’s elite football nations.
