I did not lobby to be Super Eagles coach – Eguaveon

Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has said that he did not lobby to get appointed as interim coach of Nigeria’s national team.

Speaking on his recent appointment with Super Eagles official channels, Eguavoen insisted that his appointment was God’s favour.

“I am a member of the Federation, working as the Technical Director Nigerian Football Federation,” he said.

“When a situation like this comes and you are being called upon, you can’t say no. It’s a task that I had performed; it is a duty that falls under my responsibility.

“For the fact that the hierarchy of the Federation now feels and thinks that I can salvage the situation, why not? But one thing should be clear to the public: I didn’t ask for this; I didn’t lobby for this, I didn’t apply for this; it is God’s favour.”

Eguavoen will lead the Super Eagles against Benin Republic and Rwanda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, (AFCON), qualifying games this month.
