Eguavoen to lead Super Eagles in 2025 AFCON qualifiers
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has asked Super Eagles’ interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, to continue in his role and lead the team in its 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Libya next month.
NFF’s director of communications, Ademola Olajire, said the Executive Committee of the NFF on Thursday approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee for Eguavoen who is the federation’s technical director to continue in his role.
The 58-year-old, in temporary charge of the squad, had led three times previously, steered the three-time African champions to a 3-0 defeat of Benin Republic and a scoreless draw with Rwanda in matchdays 1 and 2 earlier this month.
Eguavoen and the current technical crew which also includes Fidelis Ilechukwu, Daniel Ogunmodede, Olatunji Baruwa and Tomaz Zorec will take charge of the Super Eagles B team for the qualifying campaign for next year’s African Nations Championship, otherwise known as CHAN.
With the departure of Mr Randy Waldrum, the Executive Committee also approved the recommendation of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee for Coach Justin Madugu to lead the remaining technical crew and take charge of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons, pending the appointment of a substantive Head Coach.
