Following Super Eagles outer from the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday, Austin Eguavoen has left his role as an interim Coach and returned to his former duty as the Technical Director of the NFF.
The Team’s failure to defeat a conflicted Tunisia side ended Eguavoen’s hopes of keeping the job on a permanent basis.
Nigeria Football Federation had engaged the services of Portuguese coach, Jose Peseiro, but there were suggestions that Eguavoen have chances of keeping the job if he could make Nigeria win fourth AFCON title.
“What happens next is that, I’m the interim coach and Technical Director of the NFF, I will go back to my position and allow the Federation make a decision on the way forward,” Eguavoen said in a post-match conference.
