Eric Chelle, the newly hired Super Eagles head coach, says he is “proud and honoured” to lead the team.
On Monday, Chelle was unveiled in an extravagant ceremony at the Moshood Abiola Stadium’s media conference room in Abuja.
The 47-year-old left his post at Algerian club MC Oran to accept the invitation to manage the Super Eagles.
“I am overjoyed and honored to be the new Super Eagles head coach. Nigeria has a rich history of quality players such as Ikpeba, Amokachi, Amuneke, Yekini, Oliseh, Eguavoen, Finidi, West, Obi Mikel, and Babangida,” Chelle stated during his introduction.
“I was a fan then and with this new generation too, Lookman, Osimhen and others.”
The former Lens defender also shared his football attitude, stating, “I enjoy scoring goals. My teams are never short on goals, and the Super Eagles will be no exception; we will score goals.”
