The Nigeria Football Federation may retain Mr Austin Eguavoen as full-time coach of the Super Eagles after it was learnt that the body is yet to sign a contract with Portuguese coach Mr José Peseiro.
Mr Peseiro was named as the new coach of the Super Eagles on December twenty-ninth, but would take charge after the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon.
The sixty-one-year-old, who resigned as Venezuelan coach last August due to unpaid wages, reportedly agreed in principle with the Nigeria Football Federation to take charge of the team in March, when the financial modalities must have been sorted out.
Mr Peseiro was billed to be in Cameroon to assess the squad ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifying play-offs, while Mr Austin Eguavoen managed the side at the AFCON but the European hasn’t shown up, which raised eyebrows.
