NFF names Eguavoen Super Falcons interim coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed former Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen as the interim head coach of the Super Falcons for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying fixtures against Comoros in October. This decision comes after the sacking of Justin Madugu and his technical crew last month, following Nigeria's disappointing performance at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and their failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Eguavoen, who has previously managed Nigeria at the senior international level and guided the Super Eagles to a bronze medal at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations, will be assisted by Nasarawa Amazons head coach Christopher Danjuma, as well as former Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer Olatunji Baruwa.
