NSC Chairman Meets Eric Chelle’s Agent Amid Growing Speculation Over Super Eagles Future

As the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco draws to a close, Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Malam Shehu Dikko, has held talks with Abraham Sidibe, the agent of Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle, in Casablanca, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The meeting comes at a time when Chelle’s future with the Nigerian national team has become a major talking point, following reports that several countries are monitoring the Malian tactician after his impressive outing at AFCON 2025. Chelle’s work with the Super Eagles during the tournament significantly boosted his coaching profile, with Nigeria’s strong and consistent performances further highlighting his tactical acumen and leadership qualities.

Under Chelle’s guidance, the Super Eagles showcased improved organisation, attacking intent, and mental resilience, earning widespread praise from fans and analysts across the continent. These performances have reportedly attracted interest from other national teams seeking an experienced and progressive coach.

Although Chelle has previously indicated his willingness to continue working with Nigeria, the exact agenda and outcome of the meeting between Dikko and Sidibe have not been officially disclosed. For now, the discussions remain behind closed doors, as stakeholders await formal clarification regarding the future of the Super Eagles’ technical bench.
