Oil-rich Angola are now offering to double the salary coach Eric Chelle receives with the Super Eagles.
Score Nigeria can exclusively report that Angola are willing to double Eric Chelle’s $50,000 monthly salary, despite the Malian coach having a year left on his contract with the NFF.
His camp has insisted that total focus is on AFCON semifinal against hosts Morocco in Rabat as he is now just a game away from meeting up the target set for him by the Nigerian federation.
However, Angola are one of several countries who are interested in hiring Eric Chelle after the great work he has achieved with Nigeria at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Nigeria under the former Mali coach have not suffered a hangover of not qualifying for the World Cup as they have marched on in style into the semifinals of the AFCON.
Angola, on the other hand, failed to go past the group stage of the competition after were stopped by the Super Eagles at the quarterfinal of the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire two years ago.
Portuguese coach Pedro Goncalves has fallen out of favour in Angola on the back of this disappointment with critics also weighing in on the fact that he does not stay in the Southern African country.”
