Nigeria’s head coach Eric Chelle is reportedly owed three months’ salary and bonuses by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), despite leading the Super Eagles to the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff. The Malian tactician guided the team to the playoff round, only falling short to DR Congo, yet his compensation remains unsettled.
BBC sports writer Oluwashina Okeleji reports that Chelle has not filed any official complaint, showing professionalism even as the wage dispute lingers.
Observers have raised concerns about the delay in payments, but Chelle continues to focus on preparing the Super Eagles for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). His dedication highlights the importance of leadership and stability amid ongoing financial uncertainties within the national team setup.
The Nigeria Football Federation has not issued any statement regarding the wage backlog. The issue has reignited discussions about financial management and support for national team staff, particularly as expectations rise ahead of AFCON.
Chelle’s commitment at this critical time underscores his professionalism and focus on the team, even while navigating administrative challenges.
