The 47-year-old managed MC Oran for the last time in an Algeria Cup clash against ES Setif on Saturday.

MC Oran won the keenly contested encounter 1-0.

”I thank the Hamraoua fans, the inhabitants of Oran and all Algerians for their welcome and their support. The MCO will always have a special place in my heart,” Chelle said during his interaction with the media after the game.

“This is my last meeting with you and it marks the end of my adventure here. From Monday, I will be in Nigeria to start a new chapter. The MCO officials insisted that I continue, but one cannot refuse to lead the one of the best teams in Africa and the world.”
