Kenneth Omeruo and Wilfred Ndidi have backed newly appointed Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to guide the team to 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.
The Super Eagles are winless in the African zone of the qualifiers.
The three-time African champions currently occupy fifth position in Group C with three points from four games.
Chelle was presented to the media by the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Monday
“The new coach has something to give to the Super Eagles,” the Kasimpasa star said during a live session on his X handle, which he co-hosted with Ndidi.
“We saw a very organised Mali during our friendly match last year and at the AFCON.
“And now with the talent in Nigeria, we expect even more.”
Ndidi also shared the centre-back’s optimism.
“With our quality and the new coach, we will qualify for the 2026 World Cup,” the Leicester City star declared.
“It won’t be easy, but we’re all together in the task to qualify for the World Cup.”
The Super Eagles will resume their World Cup qualifying campaign in March with an away trip to Rwanda before a home game against Zimbabwe.
