Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has traveled to Belgium for a routine medical checkup. According to reports by SCORENigeria, Eguavoen plans to join the Super Eagles in Abidjan for their training camp immediately after completing his appointment.
The Super Eagles will face the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifying match, scheduled to take place at the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan on November 14. The team will officially open its training camp in Abidjan on Monday in preparation for the match.
Following their match against Benin, Nigeria will host the Amavubi of Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on November 18. Nigeria currently leads Group D with 10 points, needing only one more point to secure a place in the AFCON 2025 tournament.
Amidst these critical matches, former Super Eagles star Nwankwo Kanu has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to appoint Eguavoen as the permanent head coach. “If I were the NFF President, I’d have given him the job by now. What are they waiting for?” Kanu remarked, suggesting that Eguavoen’s appointment as head coach is long overdue.
