Austine Eguavoen, the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles has resigned after failing to help the Nigerian team qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The resignation of the former Super Eagles’s defender was confirmed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in a statement on Thursday.
Super Eagles had on Tuesday in Abuja drew 1-1 with Ghana in a playoff for the competition. The result was all that the Black Stars of Ghana needed to qualify based on the away goal rule, after the first leg in Kumasi ended 0-0.
“The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years’ contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect.
“A new crew will be announced after a proper review to lead the new charge of reinvigorating the Super Eagles to face future challenges appropriately,” the Nigerian football body said.
NFF appreciated Eguavoen and the crew for their services and wished them well in their future endeavours.
