Former international Brown Ideye has backed Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle despite the team’s early ouster from the 2024 African Nations Championship.
The Eagles were eliminated from the competition following a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Sudan.
The West Africans also lost their opening fixture 1-0 to defending champions Senegal.
They have failed to score a goal in the competition.
Chelle has come under intense criticism following the team’s poor showing.
Ideye claimed that Chelle is not at fault for the Eagles showing.
“Let’s keep lying to ourselves and keep blaming someone else every time we fail. We’re not good enough that’s the bitter truth. It’s what you have the coach will work with period. And we don’t have what it takes to compete on the bigger stage,” Ideye wrote on X.
