Eguavoen to know fate after NFF review of Nigeria’s AFCON performance
Interim Super Eagles manager Augustine Eguavoen is set to know his fate as the Nigeria Football Federation has confirmed receipt of an extensive technical report of the team’s outing at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
According to a statement by the federation’s scribe Mohammed Sanusi, the report is being reviewed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The NFF is expected to announce its decision on the Super Eagles manager afterwards.
“We have received the technical report on the AFCON 2021, and we are presently studying it, in conjunction with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development,” said the NFF statement. “Once the study and appraisal are done, we will make known our position.”
The Eguavoen-led Super Eagles were sent out of AFCON 202 in the round of 16 by the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.
Attention has now turned to the World Cup qualifying playoff doubleheader against the Black Stars of Ghana in March, with the Eagles still unsure who will be in the dugout for the crunch fixture.
Eguavoen, NFF’s technical director, was drafted in as the Super Eagles manager in December 2021 after Gernot Rohr was sacked. After his outing in Cameroon, opinions are divided on whether the former Eagles defender should remain in the role.
The NFF had announced appointing Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro before the start of AFCON, but there has been nothing more.
