The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is reportedly owing the head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, for at least three months.

This was revealed by BBC Sport’s journalist, Oluwashina Okeleji, via his X account on Tuesday.

Okeleji, however, noted that Chelle is yet to make an official complaint to his employers.

“Nigeria coach Eric Chelle is owed three months salary and bonuses ahead of the AFCON,” Okeleji wrote.

“The Malian, who led the Eagles to 2026 World Cup playoff, has however yet to make an official complaint to his employers (the NFF) about the non-payment of his salary.”

Chelle is expected to submit his final 28-man squad ahead of the AFCON by Wednesday, December 10.
