Augustine Eguavoen has dismissed a report that he has quit as caretaker coach of the Super Eagles after guiding them to 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.
“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.”
He added: “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.”
Eguavoen led the Super Eagles to beat Benin 3-0, before they were held to a scoreless draw by hosts Rwanda in Kigali Tuesday.
They lead Group D of the 2025 qualification series with four points from two matches.
