Former Super Eagles forward, Brown Ideye, has come thrown his weight behind Coach Eric Chelle, stating that the problem lies with the team's lack of quality players. 


Ideye made this known in a post on social media, while reacting to the team’s elimination from the 2024 African Nations Championship after a 4-0 loss to Sudan. The team had a tough start to the tournament, losing 1-0 to defending champions Senegal, and the defeat has sparked criticism of Chelle, but Ideye insists that the the coach only works with what is available.


Despite their elimination, the Super Eagles will still play their final group game against Congo next week Tuesday.
