Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle says some people are against him keeping his position as the head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Chelle who led the Super Eagles to a third place finish at the AFCON still has a year to run on his deal, but the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in agreement with the National Sports Commission (NSC) agreed to extend his deal to cover two more years.
However the talks have stalled largely due to the demands of the coach , which was leaked to the media in the wake of reports linking him with the vacant position at French Ligue 1 side Marseille.
The coach took exception to the fact that a confidential information like his demands for a new deal was leaked to the media, and feels it’s a calculated attempt by some people to get him sacked.
” I really wonder who put it out there and why. The only reason will be for me to be fired because I am aware some people don’t want me to continue as the coach but I have one more year to go on my contract, and I am looking forward to it”, the coach said.
