Nigeria’s head coach Eric Chelle has redefined what winning means ahead of the AFCON semi-final against Morocco.
“For me now, I already win [the AFCON], because I will go out this tournament with 28 brothers,” Chelle said, emphasizing his focus on team unity over trophies.
Chelle’s sentiment stems from the strong bond he’s formed with his players.
“I’m very happy about that. They have my respect and I have their respect, so this is the best winning for me,” he added.
The Frenchman prioritizes the relationships built within the team, showcasing his appreciation for the camaraderie.
With this mindset, Nigeria takes on Morocco, looking to secure a spot Sunday’s final.
Chelle’s approach has earned him praise, and his team seems more united than ever.
