Eguavoen had led the three-time champions to three straight wins against Egypt, Sudan and Guinea-Bissau.

Augustine Eguavoen has stepped down as the interim coach of the Nigeria national team.

“I will go back to my position and allow the NFF make a decision on the way forward,” Eguavoen said after the match. SaharaReporters on Sunday reported that Tunisia shocked the Super Eagles of Nigeria by sending them out of the African Cup of Nations 2021, scoring two minutes into the second half.The goal came after Msakni’s shot from outside the 18-yard box was poorly parried into the net by Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye.

A cagey opening controlled by Nigeria became tough in the 21 minutes as the Tunisian attackers put pressure on Nigeria’s defenders.

Why? He has done a very good job... I wish he can continue

Honorable man

If the zoo called nigeria win that cup who will receive it?the dead buhari or who? Do not play with God Almighty let Biafra Go.

Nice decision, he knows what's coming so, of he doesn't step down he will be asked to step down

Good

Coachie, you did your best. The game just didn't favour the Eagles.

He has stepped down to answer his master that called him fully

Nigerians who failed in what they do are the fastest and sharpest to call others a failure.

Eguavoen was under pressure that he didn’t know what to do when his plan wasn’t working. Most inexperienced coaches go through similar situation. Moreover, Eguavoen was unlucky bc our players quality is below average.

Like country like citizens. No patience for growth.

coacheguavoen I know dt u are a principled person but pls ur stepping aside now will not do us any good when we are just few months away to d qualifier. You did your best even though we made a few mistakes, I would say dt I was impressed with ur performance

Man did great, all without salary. Wish him bests.

Why? Was he asked to step down or what?

Done deal!! Na contract they gave him,so he finished his work 😝

By himself.. nobody drive am 😀😃😄😁😅🤣

I hope this his good record elevates him to gett better job offers.

I like him. He doesn't have time for rada rada

Wtf

Well done Coach. U did Ur best. Their is no magic in football. What U give is what U get. Within this short period of time U managed them, U did Ok.

He lost due to poor technical experience, but I give him my respect

If he had been appointed as the coach long ago before the tournament,he would have familiarize himself with the players. I don't really blame him;I blame other clubs in Europe that did not release most of our players.

Honorable man

This is something you will never see a public officer do In Nigeria, Youre a man of honour sir.

Misleading headline

Make una go find experience coach even if na UNN assistant coach 😀

After all the team didn't go far. I'm not happy at all.

He did? Why na? That's an honorable man

This is disheartening! Why did he have to? Failure is just an event, it’s not who the Super Eagles are! Can we have a petition drawn against this? Omojuwa I watch our match because it’s basically the only event that brings us together 😢segalink

Have you read the guy biography on Wikipedia. He has literarily resigned at every job whenever he fails to get the club running

Good decision! Eguavoen needs more experience and training: He tried but you can’t play group stage and knockout with same approach and mindset. No other plans than to penetrate through Simon?! Wow! The coach can’t go any further than this.

sportzone913 femifarawe SegunThePundit

He step down, or they remove him? Which one is the reality?

These guys give up so soon😪

Beet decision made.

Eguavoen run!

To avoid insult from Amaju Pinnik
