thanks sir

Don't mind them,Nigerians are always too emotional. Egypt haven't lost a match in Afcon group stage since 2004 until their defeat to Nigeria at Afcon 2022.
Nigeria won just two matches back to back and boom,they saying this team can defeat Bayern,that iheanacho and Ndidi should be considered for ballon dor jokers
They will all reverse back to their default settings of bitter criticism soon, suddenly the players will become useless and the coach will be the villain

So sorry to state the obvious:YOUR RESEARCH IS POOR. Coach Austin Eguavoen took Super Eagles to 3rd place in 2006 in Egypt(16years ago). HE DID BRILLIANTLY WELL IN 2006 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS ONLY TO BE DENIED BY H2H STATS VS ANGOLA AS INTRODUCED BY CAF THEN. HE HAS A RICH PEDIGREE. ROHR WAS ABOVE AVERAGE AT CLUBSIDE LEVEL BUT DISMAL WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM ESPECIALLY NIGERIA WITH THE QUALITY OF PLAYERS AT HIS DISPOSAL.

was Eguaveon the head coach then? Christian chukuwu was in charge of that qualifier

During the 2006 World Cup qualification phase, Chukwu was blamed for inept coaching and management of the Nigerian national football team, *and two matches before the qualifying campaign was over, he was suspended*. In two matches – home and away – against eventual group winners Angola, Nigeria failed to win either one of those two encounters. This was blamed on Chukwu and those two crucial failures eventually led to Nigeria failing to qualify for the World Cup, after having appeared at all World Cup finals tournaments since their debut in 1994.

Austin Eguavoen – (Replaced Christian Chukwu During The Combined 2006 AFCON/World Cup Qualifiers)

Former Green Eagles defender Christian 'Chairman' Chukwu was in charge of the Super Eagles and led Nigeria to the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations where Nigeria were semi-finalists. Nigerians were then happy with the work of Chukwu.

But things turned on its head in the combined qualifiers for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup.

The Super Eagles were confident of reaching a fourth consecutive appearance at the FIFA World Cup in Germany in 2006 but after an insipid 1-1 draw against Angola in the sunny Sani Abacha Stadium on June 18, 2005, the Nigeria Football Association axed Chukwu and replaced him with Austin Eguavoen.

Eguevoen completed Nigeria's two remaining qualifying games against Algeria away in Oran which the Eagles won 5-2 and the 5-1 win against Zimbabwe at the Abuja National Stadium.

Unfortunately, Nigeria could not reach the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the Head-to-Head rules which was used to determine the qualified teams for that year's tournament favoured Angola who consequently made their debut appearance at Germany 2006..

Both teams finished on 21 points with Nigeria having a better goals difference of +14 while the Palancras Negras had +6.

u see ur life Eguaveon was in charge if just 2 qualifiers

This was my statement: HE DID BRILLIANTLY WELL IN 2006 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS ONLY TO BE DENIED BY H2H STATS VS ANGOLA AS INTRODUCED BY CAF THEN.


Beating Algeria 5-2 away from home and Zimbabwe 5-1 at home in the concluding phase were brilliant performances.
