Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has expressed delight with his team’s impressive display following their emphatic 4-0 win over the Cheetahs of Benin in the final group game of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Chelle, who recently took charge of the team, praised the players for quickly adapting to his methods and showing strong character throughout the encounter.
“I’m so proud of my players; they deserved this win,” Chelle said.
“It wasn’t easy with a new coach and a new philosophy, but they adjusted very fast. Now, we move on to Morocco. This is not the end it’s the beginning. The playoffs will be very difficult, but tonight I’m just happy for my players; they played a great game.”
The Nigerian gaffer also appreciated the fans for their unwavering support and reserved special praise for his star striker.
“Thank God, and I’m happy for the fans because they pushed us to this victory. The players gave their all, especially the best striker in the world, Victor Osimhen,” he added.
“All the players contributed they are my champions. I’m very happy for them, for this team, and for what we’ve achieved together.”
