In the aftermath of Jose Peseiro’s exit as the head coach of the Super Eagles, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has swiftly moved to appoint Augustine Eguavoen as the interim coach for the national team.
This decision comes following Peseiro’s departure after guiding the Super Eagles to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where they faced a defeat against Cote d’Ivoire.
Jose Peseiro’s contract with the Super Eagles concluded in February, and despite initial reports of negotiations with the Portuguese coach for a contract renewal, it appears that Peseiro and the NFF have parted ways. Peseiro expressed his sentiments on social media, acknowledging the pride and honor he felt coaching the Super Eagles for 22 months.

He highlighted the dedication, sacrifice, and enthusiasm involved in the role and extended his gratitude to the NFF leadership, staff, and especially the players.
While the NFF is yet to officially confirm or deny Peseiro’s departure, the appointment of Augustine Eguavoen as the interim coach suggests a transitional phase for the Super Eagles. Eguavoen, an ex-Super Eagles head coach and a legend in Nigerian football, brings a wealth of experience to the role. His interim position reflects the NFF’s commitment to maintaining stability and continuity within the national team’s coaching setup.
The transition in coaching staff comes at a critical juncture, and fans will be eager to see how Eguavoen steers the Super Eagles in upcoming fixtures. The NFF’s future decisions regarding the coaching staff will be closely monitored as Nigeria navigates its footballing path in the post-Peseiro era.
