Eguavoen gives conditions for full time Super Eagles job
Super Eagles’s interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has given conditions for him to accept Super Eagles job on full-time basis.
Eguavoen has been tasked to lead the team through the upcoming 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Libya.
Earlier, he had led the team to pick four points in the opening two games of the qualifiers.
As a condition, the former Super Eagles player is demanding a long-term contract as well as patience and consistent backing from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
He spoke on Brila FM.
“The Super Eagles job isn’t one you take lightly. If I were to take it permanently, I’d need to sit down, reflect and think deeply because it’s not a small task,” Eguavoen said.
“It’s going to be tough. I’d need a long-term contract, patience, and clauses in the deal because you don’t win every day. It takes time to build a team.”
Recall that Eguavoen has had three previous stints as head coach.
He therefore lamented that he was never given enough time to adequately actualise his target for the team.
“In 2006, I was in charge for six months. Every other time, it was just two months or two to three games. Clemens Westerhof had five years. Gernot Rohr had six years. They got time, but I never had two straight years,” he noted.
