Eguavoen’s appointment came after the NFF failed to get a substantive coach for the Super Eagles.
John Ogu, the Super Eagles midfielder, has urged the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to retain Austin Eguavoen as head coach of the senior national team.
Recall that the NFF had appointed Eguavoen to oversee the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualification games against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Eguavoen’s appointment came after the NFF failed to get a substantive coach for the Super Eagles.
In a tweet on his X account on Wednesday, Ogu wants the NFF to keep Eguavoen in his position ahead of the AFCON qualifiers in October 2024.
“Dear @thenff, Please keep coach @coacheguavoen. Give him time to keep building the team moving forward,” Ogu tweeted.
Eguavoen, however, is expected to lead the Super Eagles in their next AFCON qualifiers in October.
