Augustine Eguavoen, the caretaker coach of the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, has undergone a successful surgery in Belgium, according to SCORENigeria. The surgery, which was postponed several times due to the Super Eagles’ 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, marks a significant milestone in Eguavoen’s recovery.
Eguavoen, a former defender, has been instrumental in guiding the Super Eagles to qualification for Morocco 2025, which was secured in November. His leadership and tactical expertise have been praised by fans and pundits alike, and his recovery is seen as a welcome boost to the team’s preparations for future tournaments.
In Eguavoen’s absence, assistant coach Daniel Ogunmodede has taken charge of the home-based Super Eagles for the 2024 African Nations Championship qualifier against the Black Galaxies of Ghana. The team held the Black Galaxies to a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Accra on Sunday, a result that sets up an intriguing second leg encounter.
As Eguavoen recovers from his surgery, the Super Eagles’ fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to the sidelines, where his experience and expertise will be invaluable in guiding the team to success in future tournaments.
