Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle is financially settled and motivated after reportedly receiving all his financial entitlements from the leadership of the National Sports Commission (NSC).
A source close to the Nigerian camp in Fez, Morocco, revealed that the French tactician has been paid in full, including his January 2026 salary, ensuring financial stability as he focuses on guiding the national team at the ongoing 35th Africa Cup of Nations.
“Eric Chelle is in a good state of mind financially. He has been paid all his entitlements, including his January 2026 salary,” the source disclosed.
According to the insider, Chelle has earned a total of $60,000 so far, calculated at $20,000 per match, in addition to a daily allowance of $400 from the time the team’s camp opened in Egypt.
The source praised the NSC for its efficiency, noting that prompt payment of salaries and allowances has created a positive atmosphere within the camp.
“The NSC has done well. The coaches are happy, the players are not complaining, and the fans are not grumbling because the team is playing well and winning,” the source further added.
With no financial distractions or controversies, Chelle and his players are expected to remain fully focused as the Super Eagles continue their campaign with renewed confidence and unity.
