Former international, Jide Olugbodi says it is important for the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to keep Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle, NEWSUNPLUG reports.
The Super Eagles lost 4-2 on penalities to hosts Morocco in the semi-final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday night.
Despite their failure to reach the final of the competition, the Super Eagles have earned accolades for their impressive performances in the competition.
Chelle has also been praised for changing the fortunes of the team.
The Malian has been linked with a number of countries in Africa.
Olugbodi however said the NFF must stick with the former Mali international.
“It’s important for the NFF to make sure Chelle remain in charge of the Super Eagles. From competent sources, there is interest in him from a number of African countries,” Olugbodi told AIT.
“We have seen what he has done with the Super Eagles in less than a year now. The future of the team is bright under him.”
