He played 58 matches for Zulte Waregem, scoring once and providing two assists.
Chelle labelled Nnadi as an aggressive and strong player.
“I thought he should have been playing in a bigger league a long time ago. He’s fast, strong, aggressive in winning the ball back, and can make a lot of interceptions,” Eric Chelle told L’Equipe.
The former Botev Plovdiv star was part of the Super Eagles squad to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nnadi made one only appearance for the Super Eagles in the competition.
