The Portuguese tactician was named as the next permanent handler of the three-time African champions before the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Eguavoen disclosed this to newsmen before the team left Cameroon.

“He just has to add his own style and leadership. We would support him with everything because the country comes first,”

Nigeria’s next matches are the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs against Ghana in March.

Eguaveon led the team to three straight victories at the AFCON group stage before they were eliminated by Tunisia in the Round of 16.

He has since left the role and Paseiro is expected to take over.
