- The sport consultant praised the super eagles remarkable performance, elevating Nigeria’s global status.
Tosin Ojo, a London-based Nigerian, sport consultant, has commended Austin Eguavoen, Super Eagles interim head coach.
Eguavoen was named the Eagles’ caretaker coach in August after the NFF deal with Bruno Labbadia, the German tactician, fell through.
In his first assignment, he led the team to a 3-0 home win over the Benin Republic and a frustrating goalless draw against Rwanda.
However, the 59-year-old was rumoured to have quitted his role as the Eagles’ interim head coach after the Rwanda’s match.
The reports quoted Eguavoen saying the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) gave him the mandate of leading the team to just the first two games of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) against the Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Dismissing claims of his resignation, Eguavoen said he only discussed “sitting down with the hierarchy of the federation after these two games and we will see how to go about prosecuting the next games”.
The manager added that he remains the “Technical Director of the NFF, saddled with the responsibility of taking the Super Eagles”.
On Wednesday, Ojo, who is a football talent identification-scout, praised Eguavoen team’s remarkable performances, which have brought honor to themselves and elevated Nigeria’s status globally.
He noted that their exceptional prowess and resilience embody the spirit of true sportsmanship and dedication.
“It is with immense pride and admiration that I extend my most sincere congratulations to the Super Eagles Football Team and their Interim Coach, Augustine Eguavoen, for your recent outstanding achievements,” Ojo said in a message.
” Your remarkable performances on the football field have not only brought honor to your individual selves but have also significantly elevated the status of our beloved country, Nigeria, on the global stage.
“The Super Eagles have demonstrated exceptional prowess and resilience, embodying the spirit of true sportsmanship and dedication.
“Your recent victories, including the impressive 3-0 triumph over Benin and the thrilling draw against Rwanda, are a testament to the hard work, preparation, and commitment that each member of the team has invested.
“These achievements are more than just scores; they represent the culmination of countless hours of rigorous training, strategic planning, and unwavering focus.
Ojo commended Coach Eguavoen’s leadership, strategic acumen, and motivational skills, which have fostered team growth, cohesion, and excellence, inspiring players to achieve peak performance.
“The victories and draws achieved by the Super Eagles reflect not only individual brilliance but also a profound sense of unity and collective effort,” he said.
“Each match has been a showcase of the team’s skill, tactical discipline, and sheer determination. The synergy and harmony displayed on the field are indicative of the strong bonds and mutual respect that have been cultivated within the squad.
