The Digest:

The Angolan Football Federation is attempting to lure Nigeria’s head coach, Eric Chell, with a doubled salary offer of $100,000 per month. The move comes as Chelle leads the Super Eagles through an impressive AFCON campaign

Key Points:
  • Angola has offered to double Eric Chelle’s salary to $100,000 per month.
  • Chelle currently earns $50,000 monthly under his NFF contract.
  • The Angolan federation is seeking a new coach after a poor AFCON group-stage exit.
  • Several African coaches have expressed interest in Chelle due to Nigeria’s strong AFCON form.
  • Chelle has one year remaining on his contract with Nigeria.
  • The Super Eagles have impressed with an attacking style at AFCON 2025.
  • Angola failed to advance beyond the group stage in this year’s tournament.
As Chelle prepares Nigeria for a semi-final, this off-field approach is a reminder that in football, the fiercest battles aren’t always played on the pitch, but in the quiet negotiations that shape a team’s future.
