Without a doubt, the coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Sekou Chelle, has used the just concluded Unity Cup in London to make a bold statement that he has the technical acumen to restore the lost glory of the three-time African champions.
After a 2-2 stalemate in regular time at the Brentford Community Stadium, the Super Eagles defeated Jamaica 5-4 on penalties on Saturday. This victory allowed them to reclaim the trophy they had won against the same ‘Reggae boys’ in 2002.
