From the process that brought this coach in as head coach of the Nigerian national team there was allot of questions and talks because allot of people were not comfortable with the process truth be told this coach is not technical sound and we can see it with even the nation team and now the home based eagles, this is a result of what you get when you play politics with everything because a home based coach is better than this coach

I couldn't return back to this thread after thinking our National team can possibly do a comeback being down with 1 goal during the first half as of the first 25 minutes of the match. Nigerians are disappointed, streak losses in our Group D stage, the atmosphere created by Eric Chelle looks to be unfavorable, our Men side are failing both when we use international players and local players for competitions, the federation needs to look into this, it now seem like a coach problem.

The super Eagles current performance has indeed been disappointed, with the teams struggling to find consistency in the both international and local competitions, Eric Chelles appointment as head coach in January 2025 brought high hopes, but the teams recent results haven't met expectation

Very poor this evening.

Edit:

I am tired

Who bet on this match are now losing.

It's indeed a a sad day for the Home based Super Eagles. This might another indication that the Nigerian Football Federation didn't choose the right coach. Coach Eric Chelle have now been impressive since he resumed as the national team coach. Nigeria is technically out of the African Nations Championship, a sad realty indeed.

I don't think the fault lies solely with the coach, because the players poor performances are also to be blame. The selection process seems flawed, and it's embarrassing for Nigeria to have conceded 4 goals against Sudan. We have talented players in Nigeria, and even in a local team from one state they may have a strong lineup of players who can represent us effectively. I am not trying to condemn them, but I always anticipate Nigeria to win over any African teams, and based on head-to-head records Nigeria outperformed Sudan. and as it is today, I don't think they have any possibility of qualifying for this African Nations Championship again because they are the last in the table.

One of the major problems that the coach has faced is the selection problem, trust me if a proper selection had been done, we wouldn't have lost to Sudan with those numbers of goals. An indigenous coach would have done a better selection by reflecting on the performance of each player from the domestic league, though he might have technical assistance from Nigeria but it would have been different if he was a Nigerian, at least nobody will tell him or recommend to him who to use, he would have selected based on his own assesment.

Just as you have made mentioned i think the coaching selection process has been a major issue, and the a Nigeria coach might still have made different choices, potentially leading to better results, i think having a coach familiar with the domestic league and players could provide valuable insight, which would allow for more informed decisions.
