Akwuegbu: Chelle’s Record and Gusau’s Vision Are Reviving the Super Eagles

Former Nigeria striker Benedict Akwuegbu says head coach Eric Sékou Chelle is restoring the Super Eagles’ winning identity. Chelle has led the team through 25 matches with only two defeats, inspiring confidence ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Akwuegbu highlights the coach’s trust in young talents, including players from the NPFL, as key to rebuilding the squad’s fear factor. Akwuegbu also praises Nigeria Football Federation president Ibrahim Musa Gusau for providing stability and a strong support structure. He credits Gusau’s focus on grassroots development and stakeholder harmony for recent improvements in domestic leagues. With the NFF elective congress approaching, Akwuegbu urges continuity in leadership to sustain these reforms and secure a brighter future for Nigerian football.
