Nigerian football legend Segun Odegbami has revealed Eric Chelle’s detailed plan to transform the Super Eagles team.
Chelle was appointed in January as head coach of the Super Eagles, becoming the first non-Nigerian African to take on this role.
The former Mali international got his praise after leading Mali to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been tasked with getting the Super Eagles back to their best and securing a spot in the next World Cup tournament.

Odegbami speaks about Chelle
Odegbami emphasised that Chelle's meticulous player scouting and tactical strategies demonstrated his commitment to building a well-organised and dynamic team.
He said, “He has been gathering information on all great players of Nigerian descent abroad and keeping their data.
)
“He passes those born abroad and those that were bred in Nigeria through different prisms for his analysis. He has spent endless hours watching each one of the players at least five times in different matches to know them well.
“He is almost ready now. He would use the natural strength of Nigerian players to form his style of play – pressing hard when they lose the ball, spreading out and playing with confidence, strength, and speed when they are in possession.
“Getting to opposing goals in the shortest possible time and with the fewest number of passes. These are copies from Father Tiko and Clemens Westerhof’s books of football.
“He reminded me of how Nigerian football was played when at its best—quick forwards, quick counters, using strength and speed down the flanks.
“As he went on and on, he was making sense and raising confidence. He seems to know clearly what he wants to do.
)
“Finally, it was clear he was not in Nigeria for the money that he would make. He wants to create history for the country and for himself.”
Nigeria's World Cup hopes are in danger as they currently sit last in their group with zero wins after four matches.
Chelle has two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers this month, leaving Chelle little time to settle in.
The Super Eagles will first travel to Kigali to play Rwanda on March 21 and then return home to face Zimbabwe four days later on March 25.
