Ogunjimi backs Chelle to win Nigeria’s 4th African crown, calls for more support from NFF

The National President of the Authentic Nigerian Female and Allied Sports Supporters Club (ANFASSC), Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi, has appealed to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to provide Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, with every necessary support needed to succeed in his role.

Ogunjimi expressed confidence in the ability of Chelle to guide Nigeria to a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title, following the positive signs already shown by the Franco-Malian tactician since taking charge of the three-time African champions.

According to Ogunjimi, Chelle displayed tactical brilliance and strong leadership qualities during the last edition of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where his side secured a third-place finish.

He further praised the coach for leading the Super Eagles to two Unity Cup triumphs in London, describing the achievement as a step in the right direction for Nigerian football.

“Eric Chelle has shown flashes of what he can do with this team. Winning the Unity Cup twice in London and his performance at the AFCON are clear indications that he has the capacity to build a strong and competitive Super Eagles side”.

The ANFASSC president urged the NFF to ensure that every reasonable demand made by the coach is met in order to create the right environment for success.

“If we truly want the Super Eagles to return to the summit of African football, then the federation must back the coach fully and provide him with all the tools he needs to succeed”.

Ogunjimi also called on Nigerians to remain patient and continue supporting the team as Chelle works towards building a formidable squad capable of competing with the best on the continent and beyond.
