EGUAVOEN PERFECT CHOICE FOR SUPER EAGLES COACHING JOB — UJAH
Former Super Eagles forward Anthony Ujah believes Augustine Eguavoen is the right man to lead the team.
Ujah took charge of the Super Eagles in interim capacity for this month’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are still searching for a foreign expatriate to tinker the Super Eagles.
Ujah however stated that the NFF should stick with Eguavoen.
“The team is in a transitional phase, moving from coach José Peseiro to finding a new coach,” Ujah told Brila FM.
“Eguavoen as the interim manager is one thing I’m really happy about.
“I don’t know how long he’ll be there, but he’s a good man, and the players respect him.”
Ujah further highlighted the importance of respect between players and coaches, referencing the recent conflict between Victor Osimhen and Finidi George.
“One thing in football is that if players don’t respect the coach, it becomes difficult. Unfortunately for Finidi, that’s what happened,”Ujah added.
“Whatever happened between him and Osimhen wouldn’t have happened with Eguavoen because they all respect him.”
