The interim coach of the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen has left his role following Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier against Rwanda.
Speaking to OwnGoalNigeria at the Kigali Airport, Eguavoen said he was given a mandate to oversee the Eagles’ matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, after which his task had ended.
He said, “I have been given a mandate to handle two games. I will want to say I am very pleased with the boys and again, thanks to the NFF leadership and all the boys who supported me in terms of discipline and working hard.
“It ends today, which is the two games mandate. I can’t talk about Libya, because I haven’t been told but I can talk about it a little bit in case we have another coach, we can talk about it.
“I want to be closer to the team as it should be and I can give inside story and inside information that we need to be able to overcome Libya. No team is a pushover anymore but with this spirit that these boys have exhibited and from what I have seen, we have a very bright future,” Eguavoen stated.
Eguavoen is not a newcomer to the Super Eagles coaching role. Before his recent outing, he last led the Super Eagles to a second-round finish at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.
