EGUAVOEN CONTINUES AS SUPER EAGLES COACH September 20, 2024
An official press release by the NFF further said Eguavoen will also be in charge of the CHAN Eagles, who will also be involved in qualifiers next month.
The press statement read in part that the Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation Thursday approved the recommendation of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee for NFF Technical Director Eguavoen to continue in his role as Head Coach of the Super Eagles, and lead the team in 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Libya next month.
The 58-year-old, in temporary charge of the squad he had led three times previously, steered the three-time African champions to a 3-0 defeat of Benin Republic and scoreless draw with Rwanda in Matchdays 1 and 2 earlier this month.
Eguavoen and the current technical crew that also includes Fidelis Ilechukwu, Daniel Ogunmodede, Olatunji Baruwa and Tomaz Zorec will also take charge of the Super Eagles B team for the qualifying campaign for next year’s African Nations Championship, otherwise known as CHAN.
Meanwhile, the NFF also announced that with the departure of 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 Super Falcons pending the appointment of a substantive head coach.
The Super Falcons next major engagement is the Women Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco in the summer of next year.
