NFF announces Augustine Eguavoen as Super Eagles interim coach

The body governing football in Nigeria, NFF, has confirmed that Augustine Eguavoen will continue in his role as the interim head coach of the Super Eagles.

NFF made the announcement just a few days before the Super Eagles 2025 Africa Cup of Nations( AFCON) qualifying games against Libya in October 2025. The decision was taken following Augustine Eguavoen’s recent games he took charge of the Super Eagles, which included a 3-0 win over Benin Republic and a scoreless draw with Rwanda.

Augustine Eguavoen will be assisted by Fidelis Ilechukwu, Daniel Ogunmodede, Olatunji Baruwa, and Tomaz Zorec. The technical crew will also oversee the Super Eagles B team’s qualifying campaign for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

The NFF also announced Coach Justin Madugu as the interim head coach of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons. He was appointed as a replacement for Randy Waldrum, who resigned recently due to family reasons.

Waldrum, who led the Super Falcons for four years, achieved notable milestones, including guiding the team to a Round of 16 finish at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia/New Zealand and securing qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, a feat last achieved in 2008.
