AFCON: CAF names Nigeria's Eguavoen group stage best coach - Punch Newspapers

Best Goalkeeper: Mohamed Elshennawy

Former Eagles’ captain Eguavoen featured for the Nigeria senior team for 11 years, between 1987 and 1998, during which he lifted the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994, held aloft the Afro-Asian Cup the following year, played in three AFCON finals and featured at the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup finals. He won a total of 51 senior caps.

As coach, Eguavoen was assistant to another former captain Christian Chukwu when Nigeria finished third at the 2004 finals in Tunisia, then led the team to win another bronze in Egypt two years later. He is one of only 15 indigenous coaches to have taken charge of the Senior Men National Team of Nigeria, and also one of the 15 African coaches at these finals in Cameroon.

As Head Coach, the hard-as-nails defender has the most win-record with the Super Eagles, winning nine of his 12 matches in charge between 2005 and 2007, and is one of only three coaches to have steered an African country to the top 10 of the FIFA rankings . On Thursday, Eguavoen waved aside the record of his being the only Nigeria coach to have led the Super Eagles to win all three group phase matches at the AFCON, when his wards steamrolled Ghana, Zimbabwe and Senegal in Egypt 16 years ago.All rights reserved.

Sometimes I wonder why we need a foreign coach

He should be our substantive Heach Coach with similar emolument as Rohr!

It is a well deserved award to Austine Eguavoen as CAF names him the best Coach in the group stage of the ongoing AFCON in Cameroon. His tactical approach earns him this award while his players also played to instructions given to them. Congratulations to Austine Eguavoen

Well deserved 💪

NFF should make this man the coach already i don't know what Pinic value so much in Foreign coaches.
