Eric Chelle signs 2 year renewable contract with NFF
...Says Super Eagles his favourite growing up

By Mike Edward Ndidi

New Super Eagles coach, Eric Sekou Chelle has signed a two-year contract renewable only if he qualifies the Nigeria national team to the World Cup.
This is a difficult task as the Super Eagles are precariously place in the World Cup and Chelle will have to scratch out a miracle to earn a contract extension.
The Malian coach was yesterday officially unveiled by the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau.
Alhaji Gasua, who had said the new coach would not interfere with the Super Eagles B, has however
had made a U-turn, saying that the newly employed coach would be at the CHAN Championship in Kanya, on a supervisory role.
Reacting to the pessimism by Nigerians on the quality of Chelle, the NFF president reminded Nigerians that Clemens Westerhof, Bonfrere Jo and other past coaches that had handled the Super Eagles in the past were not house hold names when they were contracted to handle the national team.
Meanwhile, Chelle said the time is not a friend of the coach, as he's going to be banking on the Super Eagles players' commitment towards the six remaining World Cup qualifying matches.
He said it's a dream come true for him to get the job as the Super Eagles had been his favourite team when he was growing up.
Chelle is coming with three assistants, says the NFF President.
