Newly appointed Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has revealed why he accepted to manage the three-time African champions.
Chelle was still contracted with Algerian club, MC Oran when he was announced head coach of the Super Eagles this week.
The 47-year-old managed MC Oran for the last time in an Algerian Cup clash with ES Setif on Saturday night.
The former Mali international stated that he can’t refuse the chance to manage one of the best national teams in the world.
”I thank the Hamraoua fans, the inhabitants of Oran and all Algerians for their welcome and their support. The MCO will always have a special place in my heart,” he said during his interaction with the media after the game.
“This is my last meeting with you and it marks the end of my adventure here. From Monday, I will be in Nigeria to start a new chapter. The MCO officials insisted that I continue, but one cannot refuse to lead the one of the best teams in Africa and the world.”
