Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has confirmed he made certain demands to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, over a new contract.
Chelle has been locked in negotiations with the National Sports Commission, NSC, since he led the team to a third-place finish at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in January.
However, some of the details were leaked to the media.
Reports claimed Chelle asked for €130,000 monthly alongside improved working conditions.
Chelle has now confirmed the circulated docuement is authentic and questioned how it became public.
“Today, if I’m being honest, I don’t really know. The first question I ask myself is how this document could have ended up in the media. That’s the question I’m asking myself,” he said in an interview with histoiresdefootpodcast.
Chelle also explained that the salary figure was in dollars, not euros.
And according to the Malian, the amount would cover the wages of his technical crew.
