Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has broken his silence on reports that he has left his post after only two matches.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the rumours of Eguavoens resignation started making the rounds, following his post-match reaction in Kigali.

This was after Super Eagles 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) matchday two qualifying match against Rwanda, which ended 0-0 at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, a sports website, Eguavoen said his assignment was limited to two matches.

The Nigerian tactician was quoted to have said he was given a mandate to oversee the Eagles matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

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 in terms of discipline and working hard.

It ends today, which is the two games mandate. I cant talk about Libya, because I havent been told but I can talk about it a little bit in case we have another coach, we can talk about it, he reportedly said.

However, Eguavoen, who spoke to newsmen after the team touched down in Abuja, debunked the rumours as false and misleading, saying that he was misquoted.

He affirmed that he was still in charge of the Super Eagles and would sit down with the federations hierarchy to evaluate the teams performance, following the two matches played.

It is quite unfortunate that people would just trigger something that is not correct, and at the situation that we are in now, we dont need negative stories.

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 thats where we are, he said.

NAN reports that the Eagles will next confront the Mediterranean Knights of Libya at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, mid-October. (Adapted from a NAN report)
