But now Chelle has taken charge, having spent two years in charge of Mali before his sacking last June.
Per the BBC, many Nigerian supporters may be disappointed at the move to bring in Chelle.
He is the first non-Nigerian African to take on the post of the Super Eagles.
Many were anticipating a more high profile name, but Chelle will now have to win over the supporters.
