The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly considering a lucrative contract offer for Eric Chelle as head coach of the Nigeria national football team, popularly known as the Super Eagles.

According to reports, the proposed deal could see Chelle earn up to $100,000 per month, making him one of the highest paid national team coaches in Africa if the agreement is finalised.

Sources indicate that discussions are ongoing between the NFF and Chelle as the federation looks to strengthen the technical leadership of the national team ahead of major international competitions including World Cup qualifiers and continental tournaments.

Chelle, who has previously managed club and national sides, is believed to be a strong candidate due to his tactical experience and familiarity with African football.

The move reflects the NFF’s intention to invest in quality coaching as part of efforts to reposition the Super Eagles for improved performance on the global stage.

However, football analysts have raised questions about the financial implications of such a high salary, especially considering the federation’s past struggles with funding and delayed payments.

The NFF has not yet made an official confirmation regarding the final terms of the contract, but insiders suggest that negotiations are progressing.

If finalised, the deal could signal a new direction for the Super Eagles as they aim to rebuild and compete strongly in upcoming tournaments.
