Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has confirmed that financial aspects of his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) remain unresolved, though he is not directly involved in the negotiations. Journalist Osasu Obayiuwana reported Chelle's comments, in which the Malian coach stated that such matters are being handled by his agent, allowing him to focus solely on his duties with the national team. Chelle emphasized his commitment to the role, saying, "Yes, there are financial issues to be discussed and resolved. But I leave them to my agent to handle with the federation. I want to concentrate on the job and the task at hand." Despite the pending contract details, Chelle has already set plans in motion for upcoming national team activities. He is set to travel to Nigeria to attend Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matches, where he intends to scout players for potential inclusion in the Super Eagles squad. The upcoming Unity Cup in London is also a key focus, with Chelle stating, "I am coming to Nigeria to watch some NPFL games and see some players. And we have the Unity Cup in London to prepare for." The tournament is expected to serve as a platform for player assessment and tactical preparation ahead of future fixtures. Chelle has also recently been in France completing mandatory coaching recertification courses to maintain his professional accreditation.
