Eguavoen dismisses resignation rumours

SUPER Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen has dismissed rumours that he will be resigning following Tuesday’s AFCON qualifier against Rwanda.

Speculation was raised that Eguavoen had tendered a resignation letter following a 0-0 draw against Rwanda on Tuesday at Amahoro Stadium.

Eguavoen addressing the media labelled the rumours as false and misleading while clarifying that he had been misquoted by media houses.

“I only talked about sitting down with the hierarchy of the federation after these two games to see how we go about prosecuting the next games.

“But, when I saw that story, I was kind of really worried and concerned. Whatever people are reading out there is not correct, and I am still very much in charge.

“I am the Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, saddled with the responsibility of taking charge of the Super Eagles at this moment, and that’s where we are,” he said.

The Super Eagles will face the Mediterranean Knights of Libya at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, in October.
