AFCON 2025 qualifiers: Eguvaoen steps aside as Super Eagles interim coach
Augustine Eguavoen has quit his role as the interim coach of the Super Eagles, according to OwnGoalNigeria.
He confirmed this decision after Nigeria played out a 0-0 draw with Rwanda in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Tuesday evening.
Speaking at the Kigali Airport after the game, Eguavoen refused to be drawn into preparations for Nigeria’s next game against Libya.
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 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.”
Eguavoen, who is currently the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, was brought in after attempts to hire a substanstive head coach for the national team failed.
He took charge of two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The Eagles beat Benin 3-0 last Saturday and drew 0-0 at Rwanda on Tuesday.
