The appointment of Eric Chelle as the new coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria has been met with widespread approval, with many praising the move as a step in the right direction for Nigerian football. One of those who has come out in support of Chelle's appointment is Gernot Rohr, according to OwnGoalNigeria .
Rohr, who previously coached the Super Eagles for almost six years, has described Chelle as a "smart tactician" who is well known in France for his coaching abilities. According to Rohr, Chelle's appointment is a positive development for Nigerian football, and he believes that the coach has the potential to make a significant impact on the team's performance.
Chelle's reputation as a coach is well established, and he has a proven track record of success in his previous roles. His experience and tactical acumen will be invaluable to the Super Eagles, who are currently struggling to find their footing in the World Cup qualifiers. With Chelle at the helm, the team will be looking to turn their fortunes around and make a push for qualification.
Rohr's endorsement of Chelle's appointment is significant, given their past history. Chelle had previously beaten Rohr to the position of coach of the Mali national team, but Rohr has put aside any personal differences and has acknowledged Chelle's abilities as a coach. This speaks to the respect that Chelle has earned within the coaching community, and it is clear that he is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in the business.
