NFF Sacks Eguavoen, Amunike, Others, To Shop For New Technical Crew
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) yesterday sacked the entire coaching crew of the Super Eagles following its inability to qualify the team for Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Recall, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will start on 21 November and will end on 18 December as 32 nations are expected to participate in this prestigious tournament.
TheFact Daily reports the interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen resigned from his position after losing the ticket to Black Stars of Ghana in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the MKO National Stadium Abuja.
However, in a sudden twist yesterday, the NFF Secretary General, Dr Mohammed Sanusi in a statement said, the glass house has sacked the technical crew.
The statement said, “The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect.
“A new crew will be announced after a proper review to lead the new charge of reinvigorating the Super Eagles to face future challenges appropriately.
“We thank the coaches and team officials for their service to the nation and wish them success in their future endeavours”.
