bbc.com —
Nigeria has appointed Eric Chelle as the new head coach of the Super Eagles. Chelle, a former Mali coach, replaces Augustine Eguavoen, who led the team during their successful Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. Chelle's main goal is to secure Nigeria's qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The team has struggled in their qualifying matches, drawing three of four games and sitting four points behind group leaders Rwanda. The Nigeria Football Federation has not revealed the length of Chelle's contract. The Super Eagles will face Rwanda in Kigali and then host Zimbabwe in March.
