Austin Eguavoen quits as Super Eagles interim coach

Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen as quit his role from the Nigeria national team.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, Eguavoen said his assignment was limited to two matches.

Eguavoen is stepping down after the match against Rwanda in Kigali, on Tuesday.

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.”

Eguavoen was appointed by the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following unsuccessful efforts to secure a permanent head coach for the national team.

He oversaw two qualifying matches for the 2025 AFCON against the Benin Republic and Rwanda.
