Super Eagles Coach Éric Chelle Visits Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Moses Simon, and Other Key Players Ahead of Crucial World Cup Qualifiers

Super Eagles coach Éric Chelle, alongside his first assistant Hedi Taboubi, visited several key players ahead of the crucial FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The coaching duo met with prominent members of the squad, including Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, and Moses Simon, as part of their preparations for the upcoming matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

This visit marks an important step as the Super Eagles look to turn their fortunes around after a series of disappointing results. Under Chelle's leadership, following his appointment on January 7, 2025, the team is determined to push for a place in the 2026 World Cup. Currently, Nigeria sits fifth in their qualification group, having failed to secure a victory in their first four matches.

The team's official social media shared photos of the visits, emphasizing the preparations for the critical fixtures. Chelle's staff includes assistant coach Hedi Taboubi, a French-Tunisian former assistant to Chelle with the Mali national team, along with UEFA A-licensed fitness trainer Thomas Gornourec and former Comoros goalkeeper coach Jean Daniel Padovani.

With the pressure mounting, the Super Eagles will be aiming to regain momentum and qualify for the 2026 World Cup, making the upcoming qualifiers pivotal to their hopes.
