Super Eagles interim head coach, Augustine Eguavoen has been urged to return to his role as Technical Director with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) as soon as possible.
Eguavoen was given this advice by the United Kingdom-based Nigerian sports journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana who believes the former has done quite well with the Super Eagles so far.
The Super Eagles will play their final 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Amavubi of Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Monday, November 18, 2024.
The team returned to Nigeria about 24 hours after snatching a 1-1 draw against the coach Gernot Rohr-led Benin Republic at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on Thursday.
Already qualified for the AFCON with a solid 11 points from five matches, including three wins and two draws, Obayiuwana has urged Eguavoen to return to his role as the NFF Technical Director.

“If I were @coacheguavoen, I would say this to @thenff, after the @NGSuperEagles final #AFCON2025 qualifier, against #Rwanda: “I stepped into the breach, to get the team to the AFCON finals.
“Now I have done that, I am going back to my Technical Director’s role, so you can get a substantive coach before the next round of WC qualifiers in March.
“I’m glad to have helped the country in its hour of need. Do I need to spell out why this is the best thing for him to do?,” Obayiuwana concluded.
Eguaveon has, meanwhile, only lost four of the 25 matches he has taken charge of the Super Eagles. His records are: 25 Matches, 16 Wins, 5 Draws and 4 losses.
