The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly owing Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, at least three months’ salary and bonuses.
This was revealed on Tuesday by BBC Sport journalist, Oluwashina Okeleji, in a post shared on his X account.
According to Okeleji, despite the outstanding payments, Chelle has not lodged an official complaint with the NFF.
“Nigeria coach Eric Chelle is owed three months’ salary and bonuses ahead of the AFCON,” he wrote.
“The Malian, who led the Eagles to the 2026 World Cup playoff, has however yet to make an official complaint to his employers (the NFF) about the non-payment of his salary.”
Chelle is expected to submit his final 28-man squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) by Wednesday, December 10.
