Head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Eric Sekhou Chelle, was delighted his side were able to seal a 2-0 win over Rwanda in Kigali yesterday evening, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 47-year-old Malian was appointed as the head coach of the three-time AFCON champions back in January, and was immediately tasked with leading Nigeria to the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a dreadful start to their qualifiers.
A brace from Victor Osimhen was enough to seal all three points for the Super Eagles against Rwanda and Chelle was delighted to have gotten a win on his debut as Nigeria's head coach.

“It was a very difficult game because Rwanda has a great team and a good coach. We made a great game too. I'm so happy and proud for my players, for my guys and for the Nigerian people, the ex-Mali coach said in his post-match presser.

“We worked a lot within a week and two training sessions, but it was a lot of information between me and my players. We had a game plan and the players made it work. So, I think the victory, and the win, is normal,” Chelle concluded.
