Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has dismissed rumors suggesting that he resigned following the team's 0-0 draw against the Amavubi of Rwanda in Kigali.
The speculation began after Eguavoen's post-match comments following the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium. However, speaking to journalists upon the team’s arrival in Abuja, Eguavoen clarified that the reports were false and misinterpreted.
He emphasized that he remains in charge of the Super Eagles and plans to meet with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to evaluate the team's performance after the two recent matches.
“It’s unfortunate that such inaccurate stories are being spread, especially given our current situation where we don’t need negativity. I merely mentioned that we would sit down with the federation after these games to assess the way forward,” Eguavoen explained.
He expressed concern over the misleading reports, affirming, "I am still very much in charge. As the Technical Director of the NFF, I am responsible for leading the Super Eagles at this time, and that hasn’t changed."
The Super Eagles’ next match is against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya, scheduled for mid-October at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
