Rohr had qualified us to every major tournament without heart break.

I can bet my two balls that Augustine Eguavoen will not qualify us for world Cup.

I think NFF never meant well for Super Eagle of Nigeria by appointing Austin Eguavoen as Coach of the team because from the profile listed is either he lost a match (es) and resigned. From his profile is a coach of second and third place and the only medal he has in his career as a coach is Federation Cup medal.

HIS CAREER:

During his varied career Eguavoen began his career with ACB Lagos in his native Nigeria, some impressive performances gained him a move to Gent in 1986. He went on to play for K.V. Kortrijk, CD Ourense, Sacramento Scorpions, Torpedo Moscow and finished his career in Malta with Sliema Wanderers.

Sliema Wanderers:

Eguavoen began his coaching career in Malta with Sliema Wanderers, he was given the job for the 2000–01 season, and guided the club to a second-place finish.

Eguavoen was appointed the caretaker coach of the Nigeria national team in June 2005 with his coaching staff including Samson Siasia, Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shorunmu.

Black Leopards:

Eguavoen then moved to South Africa, to take over Premier Soccer League side Black Leopards in March 2008.

Enyimba International:

In the 2008–09 season, Eguavoen was head coach at Enyimba International in Aba, however he left soon after, leading them to a 3rd-place finish in league and winning the Federation Cup.

His Return to Nigeria

In June 2010, the Nigeria Football Federation asked Eguavoen to replace Swedish Lars Lagerbäck until he decide his future plans. He was brought in as caretaker manager but said that he has no intention of submitting an application to take the role on a permanent basis. Eguavoen was also appointed as the head coach of the Nigeria national under-23 football team in August 2010. He expected his team would have a qualification for the 2012 London Olympic Games, but they were knocked out in the group stage. On 5 December 2011, he resigned from his job following the failure to secure the Olympics ticket.

On 27 October 2012, he was named manager of Sharks F.C. to allow John Obuh to concentrate on the Nigeria Under-20 team. He resigned however after seven games when the team started at the bottom of the table. He signed in April 2013 to coach Nigeria National League side COD United. In November 2013 he was hired by the Edo State government to coach Bendel Insurance with the intent of getting them back to the Premier League.He resigned in July 2014 to take over Gombe United F.C. In April 2017, he joined Sunshine Stars F.C.[4] but was let go in June after a home loss to league leaders Plateau United

Otu manager. NFF no get sense. Sacking Rohr without a better manager is a waste. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't make the world cup. Go back in history. All managers that start the world cup qualifiers don't go to the world cup with Nigeria if Nigeria qualifies.

Eguavoen was also the coach of our under-17 world cup team to Finland in 2003. Mikel was in that team that got knocked out in the quarter finals due to hard luck. However, Siasia led the same team to win silver medals at under-20 world cup in Holland in 2005 and 2008 Olympics in China.

Why will he allow them. You know maybe he ask some players to pay some amount before he allows them to play.
A coach that will make selections which will put us in 70th position in fifa ranking is not a good coach. If that is your definition of good then I reject it.

This is a complete nonsense, Eguavoen played for NNPC Warri and Bendel Insurance in the Nigerian League before moving to ACB.

I swear, exactly my thoughts when I was reading through those CVs…just wondering why we always find ourselves in these kinds of mess.


Don’t fret bro, this appointment is the necessary 3 STEPS BACKWARDS we always take in Nigeria after a giant step forward. Things need to be kept stagnant by the powers that be. SMH
