New Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, says he is on a mission to restore the Nigerian senior national team’s lost glory.

The French Malian was unveiled Monday in Abuja and has been handed a two-year deal with securing the ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup one of the objectives he has to meet.

The 47-year-old took to his Instagram page to address Nigerians following his unveiling and promised to ‘restore the Super Eagles to the pinnacle of world football, where they truly belong.’

‘Dear Nigerians,

It is with immense honor and profound humility that I assume the role of head coach of your national team, the Super Eagles. I want to express my gratitude for the trust that has been placed in me and let me say this: I am ready. We are ready.

Nigeria is a nation of passion, talent, and pride. Here, football is not just a sport—it is a flame that unites millions of hearts across the country and the diaspora. I feel this passion, and it is now mine as well.

From this very moment, I am already hard at work. My goal is clear: to restore the Super Eagles to the pinnacle of world football, where they truly belong. This will require hard work, discipline, and a strategy that is both ambitious and realistic. I will rely on the exceptional talent of our players, whether they play at home or abroad, and build a team that reflects the unity, strength, and excellence of Nigeria.

I firmly believe in the potential of this team and the power of Nigerians to rally behind their heroes on the field. Every match, every training session, every decision will be made in the best interest of our nation, with a clear vision: to make all of Nigeria proud with every victory.

I invite you to walk with me on this new journey. Together, we will revive the glory of the Super Eagles. Together, we will proudly carry the colors of this great nation.

The work has begun. The dream is in motion. Let the Super Eagles soar high, and let Nigeria shine again on the world stage.

Thank you for your unwavering support,’ he wrote.
