The 47-year-old told RFI, via Matin Libre, "Already, there are a lot of people who say that I don't have much experience. But ultimately, I do have experience.
"I ended my career in 2014 and I've been coaching since that year. I coached a team, let's say, from West Africa not long ago.
)
"I coached a team in Algeria, the Mouloudia Club d'Oran. So, I'm starting to get to know African football well.
"Today, I feel ready to lead this great team with great players. So, I'm part of the progression process; the players will help me progress and I will help them progress too because I have a vision of football that will really fit well with this team.

"They are great players, great men. I will come with a lot of humility, but once again, I have a lot of certainties. It is a dialogue that we will have to establish between us."
In March 2025, Nigeria will play key matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe as Chelle attempts to revive the team's hopes of making it to the coveted tournament in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
