Augustine Eguavoen has announced his decision to resign as the interim coach of the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles.
Eguavoen made the announcement on Tuesday, following a convincing draw against Rwanda, according to OwnGoal.
He was appointed interim coach just days earlier after Bruno Labbadia turned down an offer from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).

Eguavoen’s first match in charge was a decisive 3-0 victory over Benin Republic in Uyo last weekend.
The coach explained that his resignation comes as he was only contracted for two matches, which he has now completed.
“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 supported me in terms of discipline and working hard,” he was quoted as saying by Own Goal.
He continued: “It ends today, which is the two games mandate. I can’t talk about Libya because I haven’t been told but however I can talk about it a little bit in case we have another coach, we can talk about it. I want to be closer to the team as it should be and I can give inside story and inside information that we need to be able to overcome Libya.
“No team is a pushover anymore but with this spirit that these boys have exhibited and from what I have seen, we have a very bright future.”
