Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has once again apologised to Nigerians for Super Eagles failure to qualify for this year’s World Cup and not winning the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking after the Super Eagles retained the Unity Cup following a 3-0 win against Jamaica in the final on Saturday, Chelle said:”I want to once again say sorry we didn’t go to the World Cup, this is my feeling, sorry we didn’t win the AFCON, I tried to do my job.
“I want to say thank you for all the support that was put in the team and once again I will give everything to this national team. Football is football and everyday I try to improve like a man and a coach, so I’ll like to say thank you to this country.”

You tried your best coach….
Victor osimhen faked injury made us not to qualify for the world cup….
And for the last afcon he disappointed us too…
The nation relied and hoped on him but sadly he failed us….
Imagine as a deadly striker that his fans claim he is, he had no single shot on target or even off target against morocco..
Very pathetic!!!
We should say thank you to you. All Nigerians except Dr drey
I should thank Chelle for losing the World Cup ticket to a team that cannot beat Panama and Nicaragua…….??? LMAOooooo. Or I should say thank you for winning the same bronze that Rohr (YES, that name keeps popping up) won with these boys when they were still largely U21 players…….???
I am not that much of a lowlife, my brother. I am not.
When he achieves what is worth thanking him for, I will duly thank him. But till then, you can choose to polish the “between of his thighs” with your tongue for all I care.
