The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) ought to offer Augustine Eguavoen the permanent position of manager of the Super Eagles, according to former Nigerian international Osaze Odewingie.
Osaze revealed this in an interview with Brila FM, when he praised the Super Eagles’ performances during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers under Eguavoen.
“Eguavoen was the general manager when I signed my first professional contract with Bendel Insurance under him. The beauty with him is that he’s a lesson to our country. He’s well-spoken, he was a committed player, and now he’s a committed coach. He’s always available and takes the job with passion—it’s his life. He has a role to play, and he’s always been reliable. Right now, he’s doing well with 7 points in 3 games. It depends on what he is happy with.
“He’s involved with CAF, he takes coaching courses, and he’s just a blessing to have. Whether permanent or not, he’s always there, ready for the job because it’s home for him, and it’s his passion.
“I wish him all the best in his role. What he wants is also important—if he wants it permanent and he makes it known to the public then he has plans and obviously he will put forward his plans to the NFF and if they think it allign with ther vision then he can have it permanently. He’s done well in the past and is still doing well now. I wish him all the best,” the former LOSC Lille man told Brila.
