Former international Mutiu Adepoju has called on the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to appoint Augustine Eguavoen as coach of the Super Eagles.
Let us remember that Eguavoen has been working on an interim basis since September.
The 59-year-old coach guided the team to qualification for AFCON 2025 with three wins, two draws and one loss.
The NFF is reportedly still planning to hire a foreign coach for the three-time African champions.
Adepoju, however, said his former teammate should continue to lead the team.
“I would rate it very highly. First, we have qualified for the AFCON, which is one of the objectives.” he told Brila FM.
“I would say he has done well and is still doing well.
“They should continue encouraging it. I think he is doing things, I will rate him highly, let’s continue to support him.”
