Augustine Eguavoen has stepped down as the interim coach of the Nigeria national team.
This follows the Super Eagles’ 1-0 defeat to Tunisia in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash on Sunday. Eguavoen had led the three-time champions to three straight wins against Egypt, Sudan and Guinea-Bissau.“What happens next is that I’m the interim coach and Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation .
“I will go back to my position and allow the NFF make a decision on the way forward,” Eguavoen said after the match. Eguavoen stepped in after Gernot Rohr was sacked last month. However, the NFF announced Jose Peseiro as the new permanent coach before the AFCON kicked off.
Best decision. If he doesn't, he would be asked to or those I'll luck people will ask him to.
Not news
normal
Why?
Kindly hit follow button... I will follow back immediately. Rt
That's a man with integrity. Sorry for bad luck from the impostor.
Welldone bro. It is not your fault or your team fault. Your mistake is that you shouldn't have made that call with buhari. Anything he touches or involved failed egLook at Anthony Joshua. He got the beating of his life after seeing buhari.
He should also give way as the technical director.these people are empty
Yes! I blame him too. Why play a nockout game like you're playing uefa finals? Too slow🤦
Eguavoen is a shiity coach he has no clue of what to do when it was obvious that the Tunisians predicted his tactics infact they knew what he will all play and he failed woefully
😂😂😂😂
Let him be called back.he has what it takes to make us succeed
Well done
What a sad story...
You must come back and continue your job, because you're not a failure yet...
Why na?! He shouldn't have stepped down.
The man who initiated that phone call should also step down
Ejuke should have started or brought in...the Tunisians checked Moses. Another dribbler should have been brought in
Whether you throws away the knife or nor it has cut the fingers. The damages has been done
Good..he was not good enough... sentiment aside..we need a proper football manager..A coach that only depend on wing play..he can't think outside the box..Thank God he has been sacked
Let's follow each other ImLee4TJ
Buhari infected the Super Eagles with his ill luck.
We re not just serious in this country
Good bye rubbish coach
Why u go pick bubu calls? Na him cause am
They better give him the job,he is building something beautiful already
'Sometimes' We All Got A Story To Tell... But Definitely Man No Go Ever Do Bad, Ajeh! TI_Blaze_ Sometimes (Cover) Audio Available On Audiomack!
That is what he supposed to do.
IFB
He shouldn't have answered that particular call
Austin couldn't innovate, be strategic & professional, same style of game. Dignified nonsense.
Nothing good about dead man, accept today that buhari has died nd was replaced with imposter. Nd then things will begin to change.
he lacks technical know how. needed to step down.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The first man contribute Super engle exit
Man wey Sabi 👏👏👏👏
I knew Pinnick wanted them to mess up so he can bring in his desired foreign coach he can manipulate... this country confusion everywhere... to think that the useless CBN governor flew down to there to do what... waste their training time...
Why not wait around and build , there's world cup qualifiers around the corner now..
Please get out
Mayoral_OP Omo!
Super eagles 🇳🇬 were doing well till they answered the call of a failure from Abuja, you don't listen to failures wen you doing perfectly.
After winning Sudan (buhari country) u think u can win afcon I laugh in Swahili 😁😁😁😂
tobe_007 Super Eagles na Man United promax, Na wetin ole for don do be this , until them embarrass am
This life now balance
Get lost. Lost inside the bush
A noble thing to do... I wish Mr. Called would learn from him.
NFF knew what they were doing when they allowed FAILURE to call them. They really want to appoint pasero.
God go punish am for this disgrace nd he and iwobi will know no peace , how on earth did we start the GK romance with Okoye let’s be sincere his got no goal keeping charisma at all just hope the new coach will help send the deadwood’s away from the team
Siphonstar Dem argue for dressing room ni?😥
NIZOORIA (Nigeria) can never see any good thing in this life anymore. The Heaven, the Earth, the Waters and Air are against against Nigeria because of many sins and evils of the Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists Govt. Nigeria can not be to killing BIAFRANS,still use them to achieve fame
Better for him usless coach
Is this for real?
Am not surprised with his resignation. Same old wine in the new old
Sadiq Umar is far better than both Iheanacha and Awoniyi. But Nepotism and tribalism will not allow Nigeria do d Right thing.... useless stupid Coach
If we keep this team, we can be proud of the in coming world cup game, they play extremely well, but Eguavoen steps down isn't good news . We should learn to appreciate our own.
Respect!👏👏
Big_star_Baby pamelamodella come and see 😁
🤣🤣🤣🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭... 9 day wonders
COWARD! When we still have the world Cup to qualify for. This is football. Get used to it and move on. Resigning is cowardice!
😂
So sad😥
Bring back Gernot Rohr
Siphonstar A king 👑
Siphonstar We too like foreign coach. Omo this Nigerian govt including nff only kn how to make wrong decisions as long as it looks foreign and white
May God be with and grant you all your prayers request. Welldone
But that was the Plan.. Its not a breaking news...
It is always good to resign with honor. I never thought this would ever happened tonight but honestly am not happy with Eguavoen’s decision bringing Musa And Sadiq into the game when it was just some 3 minutes left. That’s where he got it all wrong!
Great job but the enemies(NFF) )within doesn’t want you to succeeded . Soon we shall hire Orinoco has our NFF President
Who wrote this nonsense, he was never appointed coach, he wa only going to take the boys to afcon win or lose, he gets to step down for a foreign coach
Huhhh
At least he achieved Twitter badge
Why naa,he tried
The boys really played well, the mistake the coach made was substituting kelechi.
Baba want do like Stephen keshi
🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
Gernot Rohr would have done better. They short-changed their victory to petty sentiments (Phone call). Once you engage politics in a natural cause of an event, you would likely abort a beautiful outcome. Desist negative vibes, they destroy dreams and aspirations. Get your pvc!
sports945 Genet Rohr Should have been left to finish the nations cup...then .. Eguaveon is poor tactically he had no plan B the moment moses was checked
He was never a coach of the team
He did exactly what he is supposed to do because what happened today clearly showed that he lacks tactics to manage a team.
Ifb
No nahh....he earned that position he deserves more time
Make him Getat😠
When Okoye go step down?
Noble thing to do. Best Wishes Gaffer!
😂😂😂
Iwobi is a perpetual bench warmer in Everton. He can't score, neither can he pass the ball. The decision to bring on Iwobi was what cost us the match albeit the goalkeeper's error. At times, the decision of Coaches baffles me. Good decision to step down.
E fvck up jor. He changed his winning strategy, that was what cost us. 😑
Damn
Not so fast na
He did exactly what he supposed to do because What happened today clearly showed that
Well at least he got his account verified .lol just joking,Thank you for your service Sir.
Na bubu….😱😱😭😭😭😱
Why!!!!!
Man that have sense b4 that goat pinick go come shame u
Super Eagles were playing well, until Buhari called them from Aso Rock 😟😳😝
🤔🤔🤔It is not his fault🤷🤷 Things happen☠️☠️
Buhari issa bad luck for Nigerians💔😥😩
Francisemberru The okoye's now 😂😂

Eguavoen did well and should be retained. My opinion though
What is it about this 'phone call' issues I'm hearing
Why is he running?
E don tey naija dey give us heart attack😑
To be honest he tried broke record Since 2006 Brought in a sweet squad to watch New set of individual to the team Fine boys full ground 🤣🤣
OMG! not even some days after he lost too Tunisia game
Taking the job was a NO for me.
Time to join the family and enjoy your holiday
Bubu……😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😱😱

Arsenal DNA 🧬
Buhari issa bad luck for Nigerians💔😥😩
Ah why na 🥺
Ahhh so fast 😂
Is deserve to
So quick
Now bubu can take over
Just one phone call😭😭😭 Bubu Waka 😭
Buhari why
That was fast... When did he say so, while shaking the hand of the opposing coach at the end of the match? 🙄
What a shame💔
As expected. Na normal thing
Wahala ti won niyen jare ..
