Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle will be assisted by Ikorodu City coach Bright Osehai Ozebagbe and Deniran Ortega as he prepares to lead the Olympic Eagles into the qualifiers for the men’s football event of the 2028 Olympic Games, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Chelle was seconded to handle the U-23 team in June following renewed contract talks with the Nigeria Football Federation.
According to a statement released by the National Sports Commission on Tuesday, Chelle said Ortega and Ozebagbe are some of the brightest young coaches in Nigeria, with very impressive profiles, adding that he was happy to work with them in the Olympic team.
Ozebagbe is currently the technical adviser of Nigeria Premier Football League side Ikorodu City, who narrowly missed out on a continental ticket on the final day of last season, while Ortega is a UEFA-licensed coach trained by the Scottish Football Association.
