Mutiu Adepoju Urges NFF to Retain Augustine Eguavoen as Super Eagles Coach
Former international, Mutiu Adepoju, has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to keep Augustine Eguavoen in charge of the Super Eagles.
Eguavoen took charge of the Super Eagles in interim capacity in September.
The 59-year-old guided the team to qualify for AFCON 2025 with three wins, two draws and one defeat.
The NFF are reportedly still planning to hire a foreign coach for the three-time African champions.
Adepoju however said his former teammate should stay in charge of the team.
“I would rate him very well. Number one, we’ve qualified for the AFCON, which is one of the objectives,” he told Brila FM.
“I would say he has done well and is still doing well.
“They should keep encouraging him. I believe he’s getting things done, I will rate him high, let just keep supporting him.”
