Both coach Eric Chelle and the CHAN Eagles have come under heavy fire after they crashed out of the 2024 CHAN following a 4-0 thrashing by Sudan.
“The coach has to share in the blame because he is in charge of the team,” blasted former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Udeze.
“The team were a disgrace. The players have shown they’re not good enough to be called up by the Super Eagles.
“They failed to take the opportunity they got through the CHAN.”
Former NPFL star Victor Ezeji was equally critical of the team.
“They were very, very poor,” he lamented.
“They have kept disappointing us.”
Journalist Eze Chukwu said Eric Chelle ought not to have led the team to CHAN.
“The coaches who qualified the team for the tournament ought to have been allowed to take full charge,” he said.
“The bigger worry now is how this scandalous outing will impact on our World Cup qualifiers next month with Eric Chelle still in charge of the Super Eagles.”
Nigeria will welcome Rwanda to Uyo on September 6, before they fly out to South Africa three days later in crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
