Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has addressed recent reports linking him to the vacant managerial position at Olympique Marseille.
Speaking on the Histoires de foot podcast, the 48-year-old tactician confirmed that while his representatives reached out to the Ligue 1 club following Roberto De Zerbi’s departure, there was no direct personal contact.
Chelle, who led Nigeria to a third-place finish at AFCON 2025, remains under contract with the NFF for another year.
Marseille has since moved forward with the appointment of former Senegal international Habib Beye as their new head coach.
