Sunday Oliseh has voiced his admiration for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle, according to DAILY POST.

This marked the Super Eagles' first defeat under the Malian coach.
Despite the backlash following the team's failure to qualify for the World Cup, Oliseh has expressed his support for the coach.
“I was among those who were genuinely unhappy when he was appointed, but I must admit that he has won me over so far,” the former midfielder shared on his podcast.
“I believe he has truly dedicated himself, achieved significant results, and garnered more points than either of his two predecessors.”
Chelle is set to lead the Super Eagles in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations this December.
