In a pressing appeal, the interim head coach of the Nigeria football team, known as the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen, has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to make a swift decision regarding the appointment of a permanent head coach.
Since stepping into the interim role in September, Eguavoen has made a positive impact, leading the Super Eagles to secure qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Despite this success, the NFF remains on the lookout for a foreign coach to take charge of the three-time African champions.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers loom on the horizon, set to resume in March 2025, Eguavoen has called on the federation to expedite the process.
Eguavoen assumed the role of interim head coach in September and guided the Super Eagles to 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
The NFF are, however, still looking to appoint an expatriate to tinker the three-time African champions.
The former defender has tasked the soccer house to hasten up the process ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers which will resume in March 2025.
“All hands must be on deck, we want to try and qualify for the World Cup,” Eguavoen told Kennis FM.
“March is just around the corner. If we have to do something (about the team), we need to do it quick.
“That person should come in as quickly as possible, settle down, so that we could speak, tweak things, exchange ideas and talk about the way forward. The earlier the better.”
