Interim Super Eagles boss, Augustine Eguavoen said he was
shocked when his name was announced as the next coach of the national team.
Franco-German gaffer, Gernot Rohr was sacked by the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) over the weekend after a series of not-too-good
results during the World Cup qualifying series.
Eguavoen said he never expected that the former Burkina Faso
coach would be sacked despite a cloud hanging over his future.
Technical Director of the Federation, Eguavoen was appointed
to take over the managerial reins for the time being.
“I would say I was shocked, I was surprised when my name was
announced after a brief discussion but I thought Gernot Rohr will continue
because it has always been is he going to continue is he not going to continue,
we’re going to sort things out,” Eguavoen told Channels Television.
“And then when my bosses spoke to me about it a couple of
days ago I was like why not but is there a possibility that we can sort things
out with him.
“We couldn’t get things sorted out and you know when stuff
like this happens, the next person in line is the Technical Director.
“It’s something I’ve been through before, I am in the
system, I know everything about the players and management, of course, the
administration also.”
