Former Super Eagles star Victor Ikpeba has warned coach Eric Chelle not to consider the vacant post at top French club Olympique Marseille.
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has been widely linked with the Marseille since Roberto De Zerbi parted ways with the Ligue 1 outfit this week.
However, Ikpeba, who featured for another Ligue 1 club AS Monaco in his hey days, warned that Marseille have been an unstable club, who quickly run out of patience with any coach when the results are not favourable.
“If I were to personally advise Eric Chelle, I will tell him not to consider the Olympique Marseille job because they quickly lose patience with the coach when things are not going well,” Ikpeba told SCORENigeria
“They are no doubt a very big club, but they don’t take kindly to any excuses when things are not going well.
“It’s the same with their fans. They can’t stand a defeat.”
He continued: “My advice to Eric Chelle would be for him to get a new contract with the Super Eagles and continue to build his profile, which has been enhanced since the AFCON in Morocco, where Nigeria played some beautiful attacking football.”
