Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has stated that his future with the national team rests solely in the hands of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Chelle, who signed a two-year contract with the NFF in January 2025, was given the mandate to guide the Super Eagles to the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
However, Nigeria fell short of that target after losing 4–2 on penalties to host nation Morocco’s Atlas Lions in the semi-final clash in Rabat on Wednesday night.
Despite the setback, the 48-year-old coach expressed his willingness to continue in charge of the team.
“My future, I don’t know for now. I am the coach of Nigeria at this moment, but it depends on whether the NFF want me to continue or not,” Chelle said after the game against Morocco.
“The tournament is not over yet. After the AFCON, I will meet with the NFF and we will decide the next step.”
