Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has been mandated to ensure his team reach at least the semi-final at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Prompt News reports.
The technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, according to SCORENigeria met with Chelle in Abuja on Monday.
The committee believed the target is achievable for the Malian and his players.
