Nigeria appoints Augustine Eguavoen as interim coach
It will be the former international defender's third stint in charge of the Super Eagles after managing the team from 2005 to 2007, prior to another stint as caretaker coach in 2010
With just four weeks until the Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria have appointed technical director Augustine Eguavoen as interim coach after sacking Gernot Rohr.
It will be the former international defender’s third stint in charge of the Super Eagles after managing the team from 2005 to 2007, prior to another stint as caretaker coach in 2010.
As a player, the 56-year-old represented the Super Eagles at the 1994 and 1998 World Cups.
Rohr, 68, departs as Nigeria’s longest-serving manager after taking charge in August 2016 before leading them to the 2018 World Cup and a third-place finish at the 2019 Nations Cup.
But he came under intense criticism for poor results against lower-ranked opponents during 2022 World Cup qualifying.
