Augustine Eguavoen sacked from Super Eagles job after World Cup humiliation

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) have booted out head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Austin Eguavoen following their 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers fiasco against Ghana’s Black Stars.

This comes after the former player failed to qualify the team to the World Cup in Qatar despite the talking ahead of the game.

Having held Ghana to a goalless draw in Kumasi during the first leg, Eguavoen failed to beat Ghana in the return leg after a 1-1 draw which gives Ghana the node to qualify ahead of Nigeria on away goal rule.

Eguavoen was given the job on interim basis following the sacking of substantive manager Gernot Rohr.

Below is the NFF statement
