The NFF have agreed a new and improved contract with Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle.
National Sports Commission (NSC) chairman, Shehu Dikko, announced this at a meeting in Abuja today.
His hand-picked assistants will also now be paid by the football federation as against the previous arrangement where he paid them himself.
Eric Chelle and his assistants will also take full charge of the country’s U23s, the Olympic team.
The former Mali coach became Nigeria coach in January 2025.
He signed a two-year contract with option for an additional year based on performance.
He was first mandated to qualify the country to the 2026 World Cup, which he failed to do, and he was then tasked to reach the final of the 2025 AFCON.
The Super Eagles placed third at the 2025 AFCON hosted by Morocco in February.
