Eguavoen Breaks Silence On Quitting Super Eagles Coaching Job—-Augustine Eguavoen, the interim coach of the Super Eagles, has confirmed that he remains in charge of the Nigerian national team, despite recent confusion about his position.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, Eguavoen’s initial mandate was limited to overseeing the team’s matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Eguavoen, who was appointed interim coach after German coach Bruno Labbadia declined the role due to disagreements over tax payments, expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance.

He noted, “I have been given a mandate to handle two games. I am very pleased with the boys and grateful to the NFF leadership and all the players for their discipline and hard work.”

However, he clarified that his current role does not extend beyond these two matches, stating, “It ends today, which is the two games mandate. I can’t discuss the Libya match or future arrangements yet, as I haven’t been informed.”

Upon arriving at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, Eguavoen addressed rumors suggesting he had stepped down. He stated, “It’s unfortunate that there are incorrect reports circulating. I will be discussing with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) leadership about the next steps for the remaining qualifiers.”

Eguavoen emphasized, “What people are reading is not correct. I am still very much in charge as the technical director of the federation and responsible for the Super Eagles at this moment.”

Under Eguavoen’s guidance, the Super Eagles secured a 3-0 victory against the Benin Republic and played to a 0-0 draw with Rwanda in their qualification campaign.

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich—-Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain have secured their place in yet another UEFA Champions League final after overcoming Bayern Munich in a fiercely contested semi-final clash.

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after edging Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash.

The decisive moment came early in the second leg, when Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembélé fired home from close range after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, giving PSG a crucial lead that ultimately proved to be the winner.

Despite the fast start, the game soon became defined as much by controversy as by clear-cut chances. Bayern were left frustrated after Nuno Mendes appeared to handle the ball while already on a booking, but the referee opted against issuing a second yellow card.

Further anger followed when another potential handball incident involving João Neves went unpunished, with officials ruling that the ball had deflected off a teammate in the build-up—therefore not meeting the criteria for a penalty.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, dominated large periods of the match and created several opportunities. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala both came close, while goalkeeper Matvéi Safonov was called into action multiple times.

The German side eventually found the net through Harry Kane in stoppage time, but it proved too little, too late as PSG held on to secure their place in the final.

The result extends Bayern’s wait for another European title to six years, while PSG now have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, just a year after claiming their first.

Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where PSG will face Arsenal. The showdown promises high stakes, with either a historic first Champions League title for Arsenal or consecutive triumphs for the French giants on the line.
