Austin Eguavoen Resigns As Super Eagles Technical Adviser by HonNL(op): 10:48am On Mar 31, 2022
Super Eagles Coach Austin Eguavoen has stepped down from his role as the head coach of the Nigerian national team after his
failure to qualify the team for the World Cup in Qatar.

The former Nigerian defender will return to his role as Technical Director of all national teams.

Reliable sources reveal Eguavoen has sent an official letter to the NFF stating his decision.

Brila Media gathered that in the aftermath of the failed World Cup bid, the NFF will announce the sack of Eguavoen.

However, the embattled Coach is yet to sign the proposed two-year contract for the Super Eagles job which he was handed two days before the first leg of the World Cup play-off against Ghana.

very much better.

The last time Nigeria didn’t qualify for the World Cup, Austin Eguavoen was an assistant coach

Austin Eguavoen coached the U23 footall team and they refused to qualify for the Olympic in 2012.

Nigerian football is a reflection of society at large! every ill you see in Nigerian society is manifested in our football!

Also, if Eguavoen had any form of decency in him, he should have resigned immediately after the first leg at Ghana.

In fact he should have resigned immediately after AFCON. It was glaring that he wasn't good enough. But always talking about how he would bring back Nigeria form of attacking football. He's a saboteur.

Abeg getttat. Football Buhari ...

Quite expected. He is tactically deficient.
Wasn't too excited when I saw our much-changed lineup for that 2nd leg. Gave me the impression Eguaveon has tendency to succumb to public opinions/pressure & that's not a quality of a good coach.

But when will Mr Failure himself resign?

Re: Austin Eguavoen Resigns As Super Eagles Technical Adviser by Ladiesdoctor(m):
He resigned as a failure

1. As a player in USA 1994 world cup, He faulted the Italian player that resulted to a penalty kick that threw Nigeria out from that tournament.

2. As a Coach, He failed to qualified Nigeria for the 2006 world cup

3. As a Coach, He failed to qualified the Nigeria U23 team in 2012 for the Olympics

4. As a Coach again, He failed to qualified Nigeria for the 2022 world cup

Resign as Technical Adviser,
Resume as Technical Director. shocked
Re: Austin Eguavoen Resigns As Super Eagles Technical Adviser by festacman(m):
The job of football coach or manager is result-driven. It doesn't matter if you are Jose Mourinho, Gerhort Rohr or Austin Eguavoen.

As for Gerhort Rohr, he contributed to this mess because he kept inviting new players for each match. As a result, apart from our backline, we don't have fixed midfielders and attackers who combine effectively and efficiently as FIRST ELEVEN. There was no first team stability. Eguavoen met this blunder and lacked the experience and time to put it in place.

Whoever is taking over whether indigenous or foreign should first work on our style of play and most effective way to combine the talented players we have. We have talented players who can't play as a team. Sad.
Re: Austin Eguavoen Resigns As Super Eagles Technical Adviser by Coded081(m): 11:17am On Mar 31, 2022
Long overdue.
It's time to look for a good foreign coach not people like pisero or what ever they call him.

Mumu anti - Igbo coach. Na nationalism and anti- Igbo policy kee you...

You want win and qualify without these guys:

Kelechi Nwakali
Kelechi Iheanacho
Winfred Ndidi
Simy Nwankwo
Samuel Kalu
Henry Onyekuru
Paul Onuachu
Kenneth Omeruo
Alex Iwobi
Maduka Okoye...

From the days of Dan Anyiam first Nigerian Captain. Football and sports is the birth right of Igbos and Niger Deltans in Nigeria. Chioma Ajụkwa, Ifeajuna, Blessing Okagbare, Perpetual Nkwocha, Jay Jay Okocha, Kalu, Amuneke, Amokachi, Christian Chukwu, Sunday Chukwuemeka Oliseh, Mikel Obi.
They plenty. But you neglected this.

Look at Canada, USA and France. In Sporting events World Cups, Olympics, etc they field the blacks and they always make them proud. Any section or tribe in the country that are masters in a particular field give them the job. It's a collective glory for the nation. But jealousy no go gree una.
