Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen is optimistic the team will get maximum points from their upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Benin Republic and Rwanda. The Super Eagles have won one of their last five matches. Eguavoen however believes the Super Eagles have the quality to beat their next two opponents.
'I am very confident that we will scale through the two games and beyond. We have the materials, we have the players and personnel, we have the support, we have everything,' the former defender told the Super Eagles media. The Super Eagles came close to winning the AFCON title early this year, losing to host Cote d'Ivoire 2-1 in the final. They struggled against South Africa and Benin Republic in June, with a draw and defeat from the two games.
Eguavoen emphasized the need for the players to draw inspiration from their spirited display at the AFCON 2023 finals. 'The other thing we have to remind the players about is that they were almost African champions months ago. It is not even a year yet. What went wrong,' he added. The 59-year-old further stated that it is up to the players to prove their mettle on the pitch. 'They are the ones to turn the table around, it is not bad.
