Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is still waiting to receive his salary for the last two months with the 2025 AFCON fast approaching.

Eric Chelle is on a monthly salary of $55,000 and he is also responsible for the salaries of his foreign assistants.

The payment has been held up since last month’s 2026 World Cup Playoffs in Morocco.

This week, the coach met with the NFF technical committee in Abuja to discuss the plans for the AFCON in Morocco, where Nigeria is drawn against Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda in the first round.
