The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced that Augustine Eguavoen will continue as the interim head coach of the Super Eagles. This decision followed a recommendation from the NFF’s Technical and Development Sub-Committee.
In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, the NFF Executive Committee confirmed Eguavoen’s appointment. The statement read, “The Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee for the Federation’s Technical Director, Coach Augustine Eguavoen, to continue in his role as Head Coach of the Super Eagles and lead the team in its 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Libya next month.”
Eguavoen, 58, has previously led the Super Eagles on three occasions. His current tenure as interim coach saw him guide the team to a 3-0 victory over Benin Republic and a goalless draw with Rwanda during the first two rounds of AFCON qualifiers earlier this month.
In addition, the NFF Executive Committee has also approved the appointment of Coach Justin Madugu to manage the technical staff of the Senior Women’s National Team, the Super Falcons, following the resignation of Randy Waldrum. Madugu will serve as interim coach until a permanent replacement is found, with the team’s next major challenge being the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations finals, set to take place in Morocco next summer.
