The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced Augustine Eguavoen as the substantive head coach of the Super Eagles.

Eguavoen, 58, will lead the team through the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.

Eguavoen’s appointment follows his successful interim stint, where he guided the three-time African champions to a 3-0 win over Benin Republic and a 0-0 draw with Rwanda in Matchdays 1 and 2 of the qualifying series.

Eguavoen and the current technical crew that also includes Fidelis Ilechukwu, Daniel Ogunmodede, Olatunji Baruwa and Tomaz Zorec will also take charge of the Super Eagles B team for the qualifying campaign for next year’s African Nations Championship, otherwise known as CHAN.

With the departure of Mr. Randy Waldrum, the Executive Committee also approved the recommendation of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee for Coach Justin Madugu to lead the remaining technical crew and take charge of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons, pending the appointment of a substantive Head Coach.

The Super Falcons’ next big engagement is the Women Africa Cup of Nations finals, taking place in Morocco in the summer of next year.
