Augustine Eguavoen has reportedly stepped aside as the interim coach of the Super Eagles.

According to Eguavoen, his mandate was for two games.

The technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, was brought in after attempts to hire a substantive head coach for the national team failed.

He took charge of two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.

The Eagles beat Benin 3-0 last Saturday and drew 0-0 at Rwanda on Tuesday.

Speaking at the Kigali Airport after the game, Eguavoen refused to be drawn into preparations for Nigeria’s next game against Libya.

He said: “I have been given a mandate to handle two games.

“I will want to say I am very pleased with the boys and again, thanks to the NFF leadership and all the boys who supported me.

“It ends today. I can’t talk about Libya, because I haven’t been told about it.”
