Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, is reportedly seeking a new contract that could see his monthly pay rise to about $130,000.

Beyond salary, Chelle is also said to have made several demands. These include a private SUV with a chauffeur and security, a house in a secure area with uninterrupted electricity, a furnished office equipped for tactical analysis, internet access, and flight tickets for his family.
He is also reportedly requesting greater professional autonomy, including full control over team selection, the right to choose international friendly matches, and freedom to travel locally and abroad to scout players and monitor talent development programs.
“The NFF has to issue a working contract for my staff, salary needs to be paid on or before 30th of every month, bonus and allowance as per federation structure, request to include my PA in the bonus and allowance structure, proposed salary of $130,000.00 (One hundred and thirty thousand dollars) monthly.
“The amount includes all technical staffs and PA and monthly meeting with all the national team coaches.”
