Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is targeting another victory over Tanzania when both sides meet in the return fixture of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Zanzibar, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Nigeria secured a convincing 3-1 victory over the Taifa Stars in their Matchday Three encounter, but Chelle has urged his players to maintain their focus and build on the positive result.

The Franco-Malian tactician admitted that the team was under pressure following their disappointing performance against Guinea-Bissau but praised the players for responding positively.

“We played badly against Guinea-Bissau. We spoke to the players after the game, and our motivation was to bounce back. We played under pressure,” he explained.

“That’s football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. When you lose, you have to correct your mistakes and focus on the next game.

“This victory is good, but it is important that we think about the next game, which we must also win.”

Chelle will now hope to guide the Super Eagles to another positive result in Zanzibar as Nigeria continue their campaign for a place at the 2027 AFCON finals.
