Former Super Eagles and Enugu Rangers defender, Chikelue Iloenyosi, has heaped praise on the head coach of the Nigerian Football Team, Eric Chelle, for his squad management, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 47-year-old Malian tactician was appointed as the head coach of the three-time AFCON Champions in January, and has overseen five games in his time in charge, winning three and drawing two.
Eric Chelle led the Super Eagles to the 2025 Unity Cup title triumph at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford last month, and Iloenyosi, who racked up 15 senior caps for the Nigerian National team, was full of praise for the former RC Lens defender.
