There are indications that Mr. Augustine Eguavoen has resigned as the interim coach of the Nigeria national team.
This follows the Super Eagles’ 1-0 defeat to Tunisia in the 2022 Africa Cup of
Nations round of 16 clash on Sunday.
Eguavoen
had led the three-time champions to three straight wins against Egypt, Sudan
and Guinea-Bissau, but however fell short against a Covid-stricken Tunisian
team in the knockout stages.
Eguavoen said after the match, “What happens next is that I’m the interim coach
and Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), “I will go
back to my position and allow the NFF (to) make a decision on the way forward,”
Eguavoen
stepped in after Gernot Rohr was sacked last month with the NFF announced Jose
Peseiro as the new permanent coach before the AFCON kicked off.
