South African sports journalist Kamogelo Motecwane confirmed this development on his official X account (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, stating: “Eric Chelle is in demand after AFCON with Nigeria. Having declined Tunisia, Angola and Gabon are now pursuing the 48-year-old, with discussions with the NFF anticipated soon.”
Chelle’s current contract with the Super Eagles runs until 2027, and he is set to meet with the Nigeria Football Federation in the coming days to evaluate his future.
