Speaking during his official unveiling as the 42nd manager of Nigeria’s senior national team, Chelle expressed his confidence in revitalizing the Super Eagles’ attacking prowess, which has been a glaring weakness despite the abundance of talented forwards playing across Europe.
Carefully choosing his words as he read from a prepared statement, the former center-back emphasized his approach:
“Football is about scoring goals… and that is what will happen in the Super Eagles.”
Addressing a Long-Standing Problem
The Super Eagles have struggled with goal-scoring consistency in recent years, a paradox given the wealth of attacking talent at their disposal. Chelle’s appointment is seen as an attempt to address this weakness and restore Nigeria’s dominance on the international stage.
With an extensive playing and managerial career behind him, Éric Sékou Chelle brings experience and tactical insight. Fans, however, remain cautiously optimistic, awaiting results on the pitch to determine whether his promises will materialize.
As the countdown begins for his first competitive game in charge, Chelle’s tenure will be closely scrutinized. For now, his mission is clear: turn the Super Eagles into a relentless goal-scoring machine.
