Augustine Eguavoen has resigned from his position as Nigeria national team coach with immediate effect, just three months after he took over from Gernot Rohr. Eguavoen has sent an official resignation letter to the NFF, according to a report by Brilla FM, Eguavoen will now return to his role as Technical Director of all national teams. This is coming barely 48 hours after the Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect. A new crew will be announced after a proper review to lead the new charge of reinvigorating the Super Eagles to face future challenges appropriately.
Eguavoen has recently faced increased calls to resign after his failure to overcome Ghana over two legs of the World Cup play-off.
Meanwhile, Eguavoen was unavailable to comment.
