‘Eric Chelle must pay compensation to quit Super Eagles post’
Eric Chelle will have to pay the NFF compensation in the event he takes up another appointment as he still has a year left on his contract as Super Eagles coach.
Top officials informed SCORENigeria that the compensation could even go beyond the remaining contract fee, which will be around $600,000 as Eric Chelle earns $50,000 a month, as this would be deemed a breach of contract.
This week, Eric Chelle, 48, has been linked with the vacant post at French Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille.
There were also interests from Guinea, Angola and Tunisia after the coach guided Nigeria to third place at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

Super Eagles get no pay for heroic draw in Russia
Like it was last year, the Super Eagles again did not get paid for their efforts in a commendable comeback-draw with Russia.
Russia splashed out $1.2 million in June 2025 to get Nigeria play against them in a first-ever meeting at full international level.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw with striker Tolu Arokodare scoring the equaliser for the Super Eagles.
This week, the Eagles, parading a makeshift team made up of as many as nine debutants, fought back to draw 3-3 with home team Russia.
It was understood that the NFF received $600,000 to honour this friendly.
The team did not receive even an appearance fee.
“Again no kobo was paid the team and there were no promises of anything going forward.” a source informed SCORENigeria
