Eguavoen steps down as Super Eagles’ interim coach after draw in Rwanda

Augustine Eguavoen has quit as the interim coach of the Super Eagles.

Eguavoen said, his “mandate was for two games”.

The 59-year-old was brought in as the Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), after failed attempts to hire a substantive head coach for the national team.

Eguavoen was incharge of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations’ qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda. The Eagles beat Benin 3-0 last Saturday and drew 0-0 in Rwanda on Tuesday.

Speaking at the Kigali Airport after the game, Eguavoen 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 leadersip and all the boys who supported me.

“It ends today. I can’t talk about Libya, because I haven’t been told about it”.
