Super Eagles Coaching Job: Eguavoen To Know Fate Next Week

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and National Sports Commission (NSC) will meet next week to take a final decision on the position of the Super Eagles head coach, Completesports.com reports.

Former international, Augustine Eguavoen recently guided the Super Eagles to 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.

Eguavoen assumed the role of caretaker coach in September after the NFF failed to appoint a substantive head coach in time for the qualifiers.

Opinions are still divided on whether the 59-year-old should remain in charge of the three-time African champions for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Completesports.com learnt from a competent source in the NFF that the NSC is leaning towards Eguavoen staying on in the role instead of bringing in a new coach.

“It’s a dicey situation at the moment I must confess. The NFF still want to go ahead with the appointment of a foreign coach, but want to sort out the financial aspect before proceeding, ” the source divulged to Completesports.com.

“The feelers from the NSC is that they want the present technical crew led by Eguavoen to stay on. To them, bringing in a new coach would not be ideal for the World Cup qualifiers.

“The thinking is the limited time the new coach will have before the Super Eagles next game against the Amavubi of Rwanda.

“All the stakeholders are expected to come together next week to take a final decision on the issue.”
