uper Eagles coach Eric Chelle was due to touch down in Abuja yesterday as preparations for next month’s must-win 2026 World Cup qualifiers gather momentum.
It was reported that the Super Eagles coach departed France Saturday night for Nigeria and was expected last night.
He will use his time back to watch from NPFL matches as well as hold meetings with his employers, the NFF, as well as other critical stakeholders, officials said.
In Europe, he visited players in England and France, while also connecting with the likes of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and captain William Ekong on phone.
His first match in charge of the Super Eagles will be against Rwanda in Kigali on March 21, before a second World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe four days later in Uyo.
Nigeria needs to win both matches to revive their World Cup qualification hopes.
