Former Super Eagles striker, Samson Siasia, has urged Augustine Eguavoen to step down as interim head coach of the team.
Siasia believes Eguavoen cannot effectively manage the team while also serving as Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
Siasia advised the NFF against hiring a foreign coach, stating that Nigeria has enough talent to succeed without external help.
Regarding Eguavoen’s future with the Super Eagles, Siasia suggested waiting to see how the team develops.
He acknowledged that the team is young and needs time to grow. However, Siasia emphasized that Eguavoen cannot hold two positions simultaneously.
Ultimately, Siasia believes Eguavoen must choose between his two roles and prioritize one over the other.
Siasia said : “We don’t want any foreign coach here because they are not coming to do anything.
“We have enough good materials at home that we should not be talking about hiring a foreign coach.
“As for Austin Eguavoen’s future with the Super Eagles, I will suggest that we wait a while to see how the team will be. It is a very young team.
“Eguavoen has a job already as the technical director. He should resign as Super Eagles manager and concentrate on his job. He cannot hold two positions at the same time.
“He should actually decide on which one to hold and leave the other.”
