Former Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Oliseh, has praised head coach Eric Chelle for his impact on Nigeria’s senior national team at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Oliseh, a member of Nigeria’s gold-winning squad at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the triumphant 1994 AFCON team, made the remarks following the Super Eagles’ emphatic 4–0 victory over Mozambique in Monday’s round-of-16 encounter.
The former international also featured for Nigeria at the 2000 and 2002 AFCON tournaments and represented the country at two FIFA World Cups.
Nigeria’s dominant win, which secured a place in the quarter-finals of the competition in Morocco, was powered by goals from Ademola Lookman, Akor Adams and a brace from Victor Osimhen.
While offering his analysis on CAF TV, Oliseh singled out Chelle’s tactical approach as a key factor behind the team’s impressive showing at the tournament.
“Eric Chelle has done a good job with the Super Eagles, considering the way he set up his players and gave Alex Iwobi that free role to control the midfield.
“The team have also played good football in the tournament, and I am impressed with Chelle.”
