Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has been linked to the vacant coaching position at top French Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille following the departure of Roberto de Zerbi.
Roberto de Zerbi has parted ways with OM following a disastrous 5-0 spanking by eternal rivals PSG at the weekend.
According to Massilia Zone, an X fans account of the top French club, Eric Chelle has now been proposed by agents to replace Roberto di Zerbi.
Incidentally last week he was at Olympique Marseille to welcome the club’s new signing and Super Eagles midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi.
The stocks of former Mali coach Eric Chelle shot up after he guided the Super Eagles to third place at the recent 2025 AFCON in Morocco, where they played a very attractive passing game.
The former RC Lens defender managed several lower-tier clubs in France before he took up the Mali post three years ago.
The 48-year-old coach has a year left on his contract with the Super Eagles amid interests from several African countries like Angola, Guinea and Tunisia.
This week, he was in the news when he declared that his ambition is to be the first African coach to lead Spanish giants Real Madrid.
