Augustine Eguavoen has announced his resignation as the interim coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Eguavoen revealed his decision on Tuesday, September 10, following a 0-0 draw with Rwanda.
Speaking to OwnGoalNigeria at Kigali Airport, Eguavoen shared that he had been appointed to manage 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 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.”
Under his interim leadership, the Eagles secured a 3-0 victory over Benin Republic last Saturday and played to a 0-0 draw with Rwanda on Tuesday.
