Eguavon had stated that the interim contract he signed with Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was to lead the Super Eagles in the Benin Republic and Rwanda qualifier matches for the 2025 African Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles legend noted that he would sit down with the leadership of NFF to discuss on the next move. He explained that he is still very much in charge of leading the team for the moment.

Eguavon said, “It’s quite unfortunate that people trigger something that is not correct and the situation we are in now, we don’t need negative stories.

“I only talked about how I will sit down with the hierarchy of the Federation after these two games and see how we will prosecute the next games. When I saw the story, I was kind of worried and concerned. Whatever people are reading out there is not correct. I’m still very much in charge as the technical director of the federation and saddled with the responsibility of taking charge of the Super Eagles at this moment.”
