“I need a long contract to focus on my job-Super Eagles coach, Eguavoen
By Mario Deepromoter
The Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen has emphasized the need for a sustainable contract to effectively do his job.
As he manages the team for the fourth time, he stressed the need for a long-term contract with patience and realistic clauses, acknowledging that consistent winning is not guaranteed in football.
“It will be a tough one. You have to give me a long-term contract with patience and clauses in that contract because winning is not guaranteed every week or day,” the 58-year-old coach told Brila FM.
“You will give me time to tweak the team till I find what I want.”
Despite the team’s current challenges in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Augustine Eguavoen expressed optimism about their chances.
Eguavoen believes that with a strong mentality and a positive approach, the Super Eagles can still turn their campaign around and secure their spot in the World Cup.
He emphasized the need for the players to treat every upcoming game as a crucial opportunity and to focus on securing victories, even by narrow margins, to achieve their objective.
“It has to be with positive thinking (for Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup),” Eguavoen said.
“We have to approach every game like a cup final, and we have a big chance once we keep winning these remaining games, even if it were by 1-0.”
Augustine Eguavoen is expected to lead Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Libya at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday, October 11, with the return leg set to be hosted in Benina four days later.
