Most important thing is respect – Chelle speaks on relationship with NFF

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has insisted that he has a good relationship with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Chelle stated this while speaking with Nigerian football legend, Dr. Segun Odegbami, on Eagle7 103.7 FM.

However, he hinted at interference from NFF officials, while admitting that the conditions under which he works are not always the best.

Chelle said: “Everything is fine with the NFF. Yes, sometimes they say we need to win, for example, at half-time against Benin Republic, someone came to say we need to score four goals, and I said, please, be calm.

“The relationship is about the work. They respect me, and I respect them. They try to put me in the best condition, sometimes it’s good and sometimes not good, but this is football. The most important thing is respect.

“I try to do my best every day; they also try to do their best every day. They are my bosses, and everything between us remains between us.”
