Following the failure of the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the erstwhile Technical Adviser, Augustine Eguavoen has stepped down from that position with immediate effect, the Nigeria Football Federation has announced.
The four-time African champions secured their place at the tournament in Qatar later this year when they held their arch-rivals Nigeria 1-1 in Abuja on Tuesday.
The result means that Ghana qualifies for the global tournament on away goals rule after they two sides played out to a goalless draw in the first-leg in Kumasi on Friday.
Thomas Partey had given Ghana an 11th minute lead in Abuja before William Troost Ekong levelled for the Super Eagles in the 22nd minute.
“The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect.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,”
“We thank the coaches and team officials for their service to the nation and wish them success in their future endeavours.” said NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi.
