Super Eagles forward, Umar Sadiq, has shown his support for the new head coach of the team, Eric Chelle, and believes he will be successful in the role.
Chelle was appointed as the Super Eagles’ head coach earlier this month, but the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has faced strong criticism over the decision to hire the Malian coach.
However, Sadiq is confident Chelle will have a successful stint with Nigeria’s national team. “You can see what he did in the last AFCON. Everyone thought Mali were among the favourites,” Sadiq told Sporty TV.
“They played very well but were knocked out in the quarterfinals. Sometimes it’s not always the best team that wins,” he stressed.
