Austin Eguaveon steps down as Super Eagles interim coach after two games in charge, thanking players and NFF leadership as his mandate comes to an end.

Austin Eguaveon has stepped down as the interim coach of the Super Eagles, following the team's goalless draw against Rwanda in the AFCON qualifier. His mandate, which was for two games, has come to an end.

Eguaveon expressed his gratitude to the players and the NFF leadership, saying, “My mandate is for two games and it ends today. I appreciate my players and the NFF leadership.”

During his brief tenure, the Super Eagles secured a 3-0 win against Benin on Saturday, but failed to score against Rwanda today.

Eguaveon's departure raises questions about the future of the team's coaching staff. Who will take the reins next? Only time will tell.
