JUST IN: Austin Eguavoen steps down as Super Eagles coach

Austin Eguavoen has stepped down as Super Eagles Head Coach and will return to his role as Technical Director of all national teams, NewsBand has gathered.

Sources revealed that Eguavoen has already transmitted an official letter to the Nigeria Football Federation stating his decision.

This is coming after he failed to qualify the team for the FIFA world cup which is slated later this year in Qatar.

Though, NewsBand also gathered that in the aftermath of the failed World Cup bid, the NFF was preparing to announce his sack from the team.

However, Eguavoen is yet to sign the proposed two-year contract for the Super Eagles job which he was handed two days before the first leg of the World Cup play-off against Ghana.
