Head coach of Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has completed a coaching recertification course in France as part of efforts to update his professional credentials, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Franco-Malian tactician has remained in the spotlight in recent months following his impressive outing with the Super Eagles at the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, where he guided the team to a third-place finish.
His performance at the continental tournament earned widespread commendation from stakeholders and fans. Chelle also led the team during a mini invitational tournament held in Turkey shortly after the AFCON campaign, as preparations continued for upcoming international engagements.
Since returning from that assignment, the coach has been in France, where he undertook the recertification programme aimed at revalidating his coaching license in line with modern standards and regulatory requirements.
The move highlights Chelle’s commitment to continuous professional development as he works to strengthen the Super Eagles ahead of future competitions.
