The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) might be turning to their technical director, Augustine Eguavoen, to step in as interim head coach for the Super Eagles’ crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda next month.
Despite being 73 days since Finidi George resigned on 15 June, the NFF has yet to appoint a permanent head coach. As a result, Eguavoen will oversee the squad selection for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The list should include reigning African footballer of the year Victor Osimhen, fit-again Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, and Wilfred Ndidi. There could also be a recall for captain William Troos-Ekong, who missed the last set of qualifying matches because of an injury.
