Siasia urges Eguavoen to Choose between Super Eagles and Technical Director roles

Published on: 07 December 2024

Former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia has called on interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen to choose between his roles as coach and Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Siasia believes that Eguavoen cannot effectively hold both positions simultaneously and has advised him to resign as Super Eagles manager and focus on his role as Technical Director.

"Eguavoen has a job already as the Technical Director," Siasia told Vanguard.

"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."

Siasia also warned the NFF against hiring a foreign coach for the Super Eagles, stating that Nigeria has enough talent to produce a successful coach from within.

"We don't want any foreign coach here because they are not coming to do anything," Siasia said.

"We have enough good materials at home that we should not be talking about hiring a foreign coach."

The NFF is currently weighing up its options for the Super Eagles coaching role, with Eguavoen's future in the position uncertain.
