The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has confirmed its technical director, Augustine Eguavoen, will take charge of the Super Eagles in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The NFF took the decision after German tactician Bruno Labbadia turned down the chance to manage the team on Friday.
It will be Eguavoen’s fourth stint in charge of the three-time African champions, after earlier experience in 2005-2007, 2010 and 2022.
The Super Eagles will host the Cheetahs of Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium Uyo on Saturday, September 7.
The West Africans will be up against the Amavubi of Rwanda three days later at the Amahoro Stadium, Kigali.
The team will open camp for both games in Uyo next week on Monday.
