Eguavoen dismisses rumours of resignation following Rwanda draw
Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has refuted claims that he has resigned from his position.
Eguavoen was appointed to lead the team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The three-time AFCON champions secured a 3-0 win over Benin and a goalless draw over Rwanda.
Following the Super Eagles’ 0-0 draw with Rwanda on Tuesday, rumors surfaced suggesting the 59-year-old had stepped down, which he has since denied.

“Whatever people are reading out there is not correct, I am still in charge,” Eguavoen clarified on arrival in Nigeria from the match in Rwanda.
“I am the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation saddled with the responsibility of taking the Super Eagles at this moment and that is where we are.
“I only talked that I am going to sit down with hierarchy of federation after these two games and see how we prosecute the next games.
“It’s quite unfortunate that people trigger what is not correct and the situation we’re in we don’t need negative stories.”
