Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has revealed that he wants head coach, Eric Chelle, to remain in charge of the team after the AFCON in Morocco, www.aclsports.com reports.
Ndidi, 29, made the plea during the pre-match press conference ahead of the third-place match between Nigeria and Egypt at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on Saturday.
“For continuity, I feel like they should keep the coach because he is a wonderful manager,” said Ndidi.
“I will tell you that for free: we should make this team a continuity, so we should focus because there are so many competitions and games ahead. We should focus on the team right now because this is the set of players I am proud of.
Ndidi went further to talk about being captain of the team and the experience he has gained leading the team at the ongoing AFCON in Morocco.
“Being a captain of Nigeria is amazing, especially with the help of the coach and the leaders in the team. The experience for not only me as a captain has come down to the coach. When we talk about the future, I will say this is one to be proud of,” the Besiktas midfielder concluded.
Ndidi, who missed the semifinal defeat to Morocco, could be available for Chelle when the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on the Pharaohs of Egypt in the third-place match in Casablanca on Saturday.
