Algerian Club Criticises NFF For Chelle’s Appointment As Super Eagles Coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is under fire as MC Oran of Algeria has revealed that the newly appointed Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is still under contract with the club.

Despite having a contract with MC Oran, the NFF went on to name Chelle the Super Eagles’ head coach on Tuesday.

The move has caused friction in the Algerian club, which reportedly feels Chelle’s departure undermines its ongoing project.

Chelle reportedly attended training with MC Oran on Wednesday, but the club then called for an emergency meeting to discuss the situation.

“This meeting will determine whether he stays or leaves the team, especially since he is still under contract,” the club stated.

The Club highlighted the need to protect the rights of both parties.

There appears to be a clause in Chelle’s contract that allows him to leave if offered a national team position.

The clause was triggered by the NFF’s offer, leading to Chelle’s acceptance of the Super Eagles job.

The outcome of the meeting between Chelle and MC Oran remains unknown

It’s possible Chelle could remain with the Algerian club if a solution is reached, or he may be released after the contractual clause is exercised.
