The technical director of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Augustine Eguavoen has announced his resignation as the interim coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Eguavoen disclosed this on Tuesday, September 10, immediately after he led the team to a draw against Rwanda.
According to OwnGoalNigeria, Augustine who spoke at the Kigali Airport said he was mandated to oversee the Eagles’ matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
He said, “I have been given a mandate to handle two games. I 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. The Eagles beat Benin 3-0 last Saturday and drew 0-0 at Rwanda on Tuesday.
