Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle has opened up on the recent rumours linking with Olympic Marseilles coaching job, NEWSUNPLUG reports.
Chelle’s profile rose after guiding the Super Eagles to a respectable third position at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 48-year-old was rumoured to be on the shortlist of Ligue 1 club, Marseille following the sacking of Italian gaffer, Roberto De Zerbi.
Marseille appointed former Senegal international Habib Beye their new head coach last week.
Chelle revealed that he did not have any personal contact with the Ligue 1 giants.
“Yeah. At that moment, OM is looking for a coach. So my agency got in touch with the club to, I think, propose me. And then after, well, I… and my agent, we didn’t do anything else,” Chelle told Histoires de foot Podcast.
The Malian still has a year left on his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
