Nigeria’s senior national football team head coach, Eric Chelle, has reportedly made sweeping demands in ongoing contract extension talks with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), including a monthly pay package of $130,000 and 18 other conditions. The proposal, submitted to the federation on January 22, 2026, outlines detailed terms the Franco-Malian tactician wants fulfilled before agreeing to continue in charge of the Super Eagles.
According to reports, the proposed $130,000 monthly salary significantly higher than his current earnings of about $50,000 is intended to cover not only Chelle but also his entire technical staff and personal assistant. The document’s terms aim to modernise the team’s operational structure and ensure enhanced logistics and support for his coaching crew.
Among the conditions is the provision of a private SUV with a security detail and chauffeur, secure housing with uninterrupted electricity, and a furnished analysis office equipped with tactical tools and reliable internet. Chelle also requested flight tickets for his wife and children, GPS tools for scouting, and improved training equipment aligned with his technical requirements.
Chelle’s proposal also seeks broader technical autonomy, including the right to choose international friendly opponents, structured camping programmes, and the freedom to travel both internationally and domestically to monitor and integrate players into various national teams, from senior to youth levels. He has also demanded guaranteed non-interference in team selection and official contracts for his backroom staff.
Other points in the 19-condition request include timely payment of salaries and bonuses by the end of each month, inclusion of his personal assistant in the federation’s bonus structure, and monthly coordination meetings involving all national team coaches. These measures, he argues, will strengthen cohesion and professionalism across Nigeria’s national teams.
The NFF has yet to make an official public decision on the demands. The extensive terms come as the federation weighs its financial capacity against the desire to retain a coach who led Nigeria to third place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and has drawn interest from clubs abroad.
