The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, has disclosed the target set for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled to take place in Morocco.
Speaking during an interview on Eagles FM Radio, Gusau confirmed that the NFF has mandated the France-born coach to guide the Super Eagles to the final of the continental tournament.
“The mandate the NFF has given Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is for him to reach the final of the AFCON,” Gusau stated.
He added that the coach has accepted the challenge and is confident of delivering on the federation’s expectations.
“We are going to reach the final in Morocco, by the grace of God,” Gusau said. Nigeria will head into the 2025 AFCON as one of the tournament favourites, with expectations high following the team’s recent performances on the continental stage.
The Super Eagles are aiming to secure a fourth AFCON title when the competition kicks off in Morocco.
