Indication has emerged that interim Super Eagles’ head coach, Austin Eguavoen, could be heading for the exit door following the dismal outing in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations against Guinea in Conakry last Sunday.
ThE top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have expressed displeasure with the technical input of Eguavoen in last Sunday’s game against Guinea, which the Super Eagles lost by a lone goal.
The NFF officials are also scheduled to hold a meeting to review the performance of the team against Guinea based on the technical report of assistant secretary general (technical) James Peters.
Peters was part of the travelling contingent to Conakry and he has expressed displeasure with the attitude of the side, as he feels that Eguavoen has not been on top of things in the Eagles’ camp.
There are indications that Eguavoen would certainly not be in position to handle the Super Eagles for the country’s next Nations Cup qualifier, in March 2011 against Ethiopia.
Also, the coach could be placed under supervision for next month’s international friendly against Iran.
However, the NFF cannot appoint a substantive coach at the moment since there is no board in place due to the court case that annulled the August 26 poll that elected Aminu Maigari as president of the football federation.
The court suit was instituted by a faction of the country’s football union known as the National Association of Nigerian Footballers (Nanf).
As at the present time, Nigerian sport lovers are at the mercy of FIFA, Nigerian Courth and N.F.A.Board Members.
