Why? According to simpletons like odegbami, jimmyball, omo9ja,we want total football and eguaveon has given us total football. He has much more than his predecessor. I mean, to qualify for the world cup isn’t a big deal. Coming 3rd at AFCON isn’t a big deal.
It’s a shame how odegbami has failed to do his usual write up
I think you aren’t serious and let me not even the Afcon Bronze he won as a coach… Quite recently, Eguavoen also took the SE from 36th position Fifa ranking, to 30th. And when smaller countries like Liberia, Cape Verde and Central Africa Republic were in contestations, Eguavoen with weeks put out a team that defeated Salah Egypt. My brother, that guy needs to be given more time like 4 years by the NFF.
That is true, he is dexterous and should be given more time on the job to win more laurels unless if there is a more qualified domestic coach. I will go for an appointment based on merit.
How about a NEW NFF PRESIDENT????
And new sports minister?
Yes o my brother PABLO we need a total OVERHAULING, so that the CORRUPT OFFICIALS will not spoil the NEW INCOMING NEW FACES

You need to be replaced as well. Idiot!
This piple shuld jost resine. They are not kapable of doing the job.
NFF PRESIDENT PANNICK MUST BE SACK HE IS USELESS TO NIGERIA FOOTBALL
HE IS NOT CAPABLE TO MANAGE OUR FOOTBALL HOUSE.
PLEASE WHERE IS OUR EX SUPER EAGLES PLAYER’S LIKE UCHE OKECHUKWU / FINIDI GEORGE/ OKOCHA/ KAUN /& CO THESE GUYS SHOULD COME INTO OUR FOOTBALL HOUSE
THIS MAN WITH WHITE BEARS IS JUST KILLING NIGERIA FOOTBALL
There is no place I won’t say it, the NFF President and the Sports Minister are 100% responsible for our failure to qualify for WC. This is because of their poor decision making, cluelessness, and callousness which was expressly displayed when they removed a man who was poised to qualify us for WC and installed a puppet who doesn’t know his left from his right hand. Essentially, administrative wise, the NFF President and the Sports Minister are to be blamed 100% for the pains we are in right now.
However, football and technical wise, Eguaveon is 100% to blame for our defeat to Ghana. Eguaveon is so clueless that he doesn’t know when and how best to use Iwobi. That is one of the major reasons why we lost against Tunisia.
Apart from not knowing how to deploy Iwobi for best effect, Eguaveon doesn’t seem to get anything right…..tactics, formation, line up, substitions etc.
The major reason why we lost against Ghana in Abuja is because of our lineup on the day. The formation was good. But the lineup undid us. Eguaveon started five very new players who doesn’t know their left from their right when it came to SE, African fooball, Nigeria, bad pitch etc. Very new players but he pushed them into a very deadly battle that requires well seasoned and experienced players. We started losing that match right from the first blast of the whistle.
Ghana won, we were defeated, we lost, because Ghana scored us from open play but we couldn’t score until VAR presented us with a goft. If not for that penalty, we would not have scored any goal.
At AFCON, when Tunisia won us, people blamed Iwobi for the red card and swore that if we were complete 11, we would have equalised and won the match. Against Ghana we were complete, but Ghana still won us and the new scapegoat is Uzoho. There is no doubt, Uzoho was at fault for that goal. Nobody blames Eguaveon for the goal. But I blame him for not coming up with a master plan that will make us score goals and win the match. 180 plus minutes of football(Kumasi plus Abuja) and we couldn’t score a single goal if not for the VAR gift. And you are saying I shouldn’t blame the coach?
Equaveon is a failure. He failed in 2006. Failed again in 2012. Failed once again in 2020. And Failed woefully in 2022. It is only a failure that will want Eguaveon to continue as SE coach.
This experiment and foolishness with SE ends with Eguaveon. No more foolishness and experimentations going forward.
If Eguaveon leaves and the NFF President and the Sports Minister sit tight on their seats, we are going nowhere in football, because these two men have exhausted themselves. They don’t have any other good contribution to make to the progress of SE. They are failures. Any step they take is very likely to be a wrong one. Honestly, there is very high chances that they will get it wrong once again, if they employ a new coach. Instead of committing further blunders, these two men should resign just like Eguaveon has done. They have already done more than enough damage to the SE
Why is Amaju still there?
NFF is set to name another set of failure again.
Amaju wo me i don’t trust
you again. Let all your mouth piece hear this and report back to you.
Like the Hebrew adaga in the past that says “can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Me I don’t think anything good can come out of this NFF Nazareth.
We need fresh blood up there that is only thing that can makes me to think otherwise.
A good thing (Rohr) came from the Nff hopefully,another Rohr (Good thing)will come to bring smiles to the faces all super eagles fans.
We have paid the price for the mindless sacking of Rohr,we have suffered enough and it’s time for a positive change.
We deserve to be happy every super eagles fans.
I hope God give this leaders the wisdom to make the right choices.
Lol. @Greenturf or whatever.
See, under Gernot Rohr Central Africa Republic (131 Fifa Ranked) defeated the Eagles at home. That was actually the main reason why the NFF went for Eguavoen who did improved on the playing philosophy of the team. We saw how the Eguavoen team took the Pharaohs of Egypt with the mighty MoSalah to the cleaners afterwards. Let’s back our comments with facts because the World is now a global village where information could easily be accessed.
@Henry Italy lost to North Macedonia and was booted out of the world cup yes, he lost to CAR and what was the outcome? He qualified for the play off which was damaged by your clueless Eguavon. Bro don’t let sentiment becloud your sense of reasoning.
@greenturf, Eguavoen also took the eagles from 36th position to 30th in fifa ranking. What are you going to say about that? It is clear some of you are butter because of Ozoho’s error, really that Thomas Partey’s short was too cheap. Let’s properly situate the blame.
*bitter..n..*shot…
Why did Nigeria fail? The easy and lazy conclusion here is to blame the players or blame the administrators. The administrators did not pick the team or tactics, so how can you blame them? As to the players, those Europe based players in the first half ran themselves ragged to pull back an early goal disadvantage. By the second half, tiredness in the hot tropics had set in, which many have misinterpreted as a lack of motivation by the players.
Eguavoen appears not to have pre-prepared by taking into account any tactics to address this fact or the fact that in the final 30 minutes Nigeria could find themselves losing.
His substitutions were questionable and poor. By the 70th minute, the coach was telegraphing his defeat and lack of ideas, compare that to Cameroun who had to twice comeback from near defeat and won the match in the final 120 minutes of extra time.
Unfortunately for Nigeria, Ghanaian coach Otto Addo had, rightly sensed that Nigeria would not be able to keep their urgent first half tempo, and in the 46th minute he brought on 3 substitutes and changed his formation to 3-5-2. By doing this he overloaded the midfield with players, played conservative and deep to keep Nigeria at bay.
Otto Addo took advantage of the new 5 man substitution to change his tactics to defensive especially after the danger Nigeria posed in the first half – scoring an off-side goal.
Nigeria ended the match with a 5-0-5 formation, an indictment of Eguavoen’s midfield lapses. He picked so many forwards in his squad that when his team became decimated by midfield injuries from the hard tackling Ghanaian midfield, he had none left to play and was substituting Onyeka a central midfielder with Shehu Abdullahi a right back.
In the last 30 minutes Nigeria was playing with two right backs, Aina and Shehu. Unable to break through the midfield or the wings thru Simon, Nigeria’s Ekong resorted to long balls to supply the forwards.
Eguavoen then brought on Ahmed Musa, Ahmed Musa plays best when there is space and he can exploit that space with his pace by getting behind the left back. With the Ghanaians playing deep in their half there was no space for Musa to run into and he has little dribbling ability.
His other substitutions of Ighalo and Sadiq was tactically stupid because it was not addressing the problem of lack of supply to the forwards from midfield, and he was removing 2 midfielders and 1 right back to accommodate 3 forwards, conceding the midfield to the Ghanaians. This was crazy!
The footballing culture of Ghana differs from that of Nigeria, while Nigeria has always emphasized skill like Mohammad Ali, Ghana stresses powerful strong players like George Foreman. If Ali had gone toe to toe against Foreman, Ali would have lost, instead he tired Foreman out by avoiding his punches with ‘rope a dope’.
Going head to head with Ghana on physicality was the wrong approach. We should have – like Mohammad Ali, used Ghanaian physicality against them, by eliciting fouls and bookings that would have seen Ghana reduced in number.
With the Ghanaians defending deep and time running out, the two small dribbling midfielders Lookman and Amoo would have been key. Lookman in fact already won Nigeria a penalty. Amoo should have been assigned to tempt the Ghanaians into physical challenges in and around the penalty box.
We were outplayed and outthought by a better Ghanaian coach with inferior players. It was not that the Ghanaians had a better ‘will to win’, as they all play in Europe like their Nigerian counterparts. It was tactical incompetence, even the first goal was caused by deploying Dennis a forward on the wings without defensive cover.
A forward doesn’t know how to defend, but wingers know they have defensive duties as well as offensive.
Great analysis! Thank you
Pls Mr amaju and co, do the needful and resign!!!!! U have failed on all corners and hence have no moral justification to continue being in power. U were the architect of all this mess and should honrably leave the stage just as the spoilers whom you brought on board to distabilize rohrs plans have done and allow other well meaning administrators with fresh ideas take charge. It is absurd for you to still cling to power after all you have done, it is not ur birthright. Please, leave!!, leave!!!! Resign and save us from further calamity. However, I wonder why Mr odegbami, the ex cricket international has not written his usual piece of sh…. it!!! All of u are bastards and God shall surely paybu back in your own coin. You’ll never escape it. Nemesis shall surely locate u and your family. The blood of those who died as a result of this avoidable anguish is upon ur head and you shall pay for it in due course of time. Useless bunch of idiots!!
Thief na thief. FA chairman Pinick don’t want to resign because of millions they thief in glass house. Eating players match bonuses. Curoption from left and right. If that pinick don’t resign, Nigeria football will be up sometimes and down. Stagnant
Ghana has brought the whole giant with clay feet down haha
They ll rebuild and Ghana ll again come and tear it down again haha
Any appointment should be guided by merit. What that signifies is, we repose our trust in NFF members not to appoint a coach whose credentials aren’t as good as those of Augustine Eguavoen. I could continue to list them enviable achievements right from when he won a medal at the 2006 Afcon.
Even recently out of 7 matches he suprintendend, he lost only 1, winning 4 in the process. Let’s hope there will be no magomago otherwise, Egu is the man unless a more qualified individual is discovered.
He can win all seven for all we care, the man is technically inept and daft.
We need someone who can read matches and make effective changes .
Olifinjana as head of technical department.
Egbo, Amuneke and Garba and Enyena
How do you win a match without reading it? A coach won 4 matches out of 7 is not reading? You need to examine your head.
Seyi Olofinaja is not even rated. Go and look up his stats.
What do you mean AT.Dan? When did Egu won 4 matches out of 7? My brother Tunisia beat us and Ghana drew 2times. You must explain.
And you couldn’t mention any other country that the SE within time referenced apart from Tunisia. Ok let me put you in a classroom.
Under Augustine Eguavoen
1. Nig 1 vs Egypt 0
2. Nig 2 vs Guinea B 0
3. Nig 3 vs Sudan 1
4. Nig 0 vs Tunisia 1
5. Nig 2 vs Cotonsport 0
6. Nig 0 vs Ghana 0
7. Big 1 vs Ghana 1
What kind of coach will a country search for?
Final analyses, Nig won 4, Drew 2 and lost 1.
You be OPONU AIYERADA for this useless stats mentioned above. What was the outcome of these stats above? ……………A R16 exit from AFCON (Unprecedented history from 40 years ago), and failure to Qualify for Qatar WC against a poor Ghanaian Team
So clap for yourself for a good research done………..iru eleeyi ni wa ma ri ni aye re (Such success like this will be common in your life o)
Simply state facts fool and stop from being an idiot, at least for once. Or you lacking facts? Though I’m not a member of the NFF but from every indication Eguavoen stands in a better position to continue because there is no other domestic coach with a better credentials.
We also would like to see the statistics employed by the NFF technical committee to arrive at whoever they are appointing for the various teams.
It’s very concerning that a lot of people are not putting their thinking caps on. Despite the obvious, people continue to let their heart cloud their thinking. As long as we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot this way, it will be hard for our football to improve or achieve anything. This should not be rocket science. The delusion that a coach that has never been part of a coaching team in places where football is played at the highest level in the last 5 years, would just suddenly possess that spontaneous knowledge by just sitting on his behind in this country, not attached to any club, will be a candidate for the country’s National Teams, is astounding. It shows how foolish people can be.
Super eagles coach must not be black man unless Nigeria want to go down more in football. Nigeria still enjoy rohr glory in FIFA ranking. Local coaches like Amunike should take over under23 or under 20. Spiritually Eguaveon have hardluck. Check his playing days. He cost Nigeria game vs Italy 1994 World cup , calamity defender,always shaking. He have coach Nigeria different national teams and fail. I keep thinking why nff keep employing him? White men don’t do that shit.
@Chibuike: We can be true Eagles fans.
Most likely you forgot Eguavoen won an Afcon Bronze Medal as a Super Eagles coach. And at the time when the Super Eagles fortune was dwindling, a small footballing nation like Central Africa Republic, CAR came and defeated the Super Eagles at home, Eguavoen was called in and did resuscitated the team with just few weeks to the beauty and happiness of Nigerians if not for the errors made by Okoye and Uzoho which they have owned up anyway.
And also don’t forget Amuneke’s coaching credentials are easily accessible online though you are trying to wash his body with klin soap. I’m not going to take away the fact that he won a Gold Medal with u17 team, Amuneke was sacked as the national coach of a lowly football team, the Taifa Stars of Tanzania for poor performance. Let’s not even mention what happened to him at an u18 feeder team in Egypt. May be his escapades in Sudan should be left with spirituality. My brother stop being sentimental otherwise you will always be seen as a tribalist. What we are saying is that the NFF selections must be based on merit as are represented from available facts.
Thank you @Chibuike, I really don’t understand how he keeps getting juicy posts with NFF, a Failure as a player, Failure at various Youth teams, Failure at club level, Failure at SE previous stints but still managed to find his way back to double failure in 3 months…………Haba NFF what’s going on?
Is it because he is from same area as Pinnick?…………Nepotism is our bane in Nigeria
See what Nelsonlina wrote above:

He also played 7 games, won 4 and lost only 1. I’m talking about recent results.
Rorh defeated Algeria in uyo a team filled with stars all you mention is Salah what has eguaveon won please stop saying Salah
So many of this our so called class of 94 players did so many evil things that people don’t know on the surface that is why it is bouncing back on some of them some of them carried charms even Taribo west confessed to that and all manner of stuff how many of us wonderd what happened to dosu after Atlanta 96 he had accident that killed his football carrier what of JERO SHAKPOKE close to world cup a lady doing well as a right back sustained an injury that finished his carrier in friendly against Germany 1998 before world cup in France then Nigeria reverted back to eguavoen Peter rufai and co who had no business in the team under coach boro miltunovic a white man that evil is the reason why we keep going back to players who at one time or the other retired from the national team that is why eguavoen shameless ly invited ogenyi onazi who has lost touch with modern football to his team it is an evil foundation they built and that is were the bad luck followed eguavoen from because his hands are not clean just like others so many things has happened in our football circles ranging from admistration coaches and players in the wrong direction and if they are not corrected we are heading no way a man like eguavoen who know little or nothing about Cyril desscers dele bashiru akin amoo Sebastian osigwe dele alampasu adebayo adeleye terem mofi and so on and so on does not deserve to be even the technical director of our football house not to talk of coaching our national team in the national team he coached he had failed I mean failed
It was the same class 94 S.E that placed Nigeria in no5 position fifa ranking and that is the highest any african national team has gone. That remains classic. Some of you are only being sentimental because your own is not qualified to lead the eagles. Eguavoen will be announced soon but that depends on if he is still interested.
It’s easy to see from reading comments posted from retards on this forum why we are where we are as a country. There is a saying that ” No matter how many races a donkey wins, you can’t promote it to a horse”. Eguavon’ tactical and technical ineptitude is unquestionable. His tactics is simply to tell the players to ” Go out there and express themselves”. So sad clowns are once again calling for a reward for failure. God help us.
Rorh defeated Algeria in uyo a team filled with stars all you mention is Salah what has eguaveon won please stop saying Salah
If truly you are a man of integrity, you would have stepped down a day after the match against Ghana.
It is a big shame that many of you people that representing Nigeria are selfish.
I read it somewhere that Diko may likely replace Amaju Pinnick. So, what is the difference between Diko and Amaju.
My point here is, Amaju Pinnick should be the last NFF president that has never kicked ball in his career.
Now, NFF should follow Cameroon footsteps. Etoo is doing so well. We need all our ex players in the NFF.
Amaju, history will remember you. God bless Nigeria!!!
Make dem kuku give us new president of Nigeria nau.
