Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze praised Austin Eguavoen for his work as interim coach of the Super Eagles.
He said Eguavoen did a great job during the 2025 African Cup Of Nations, AFCON, qualifiers.
Eguavoen became the Super Eagles coach when Bruno Labaddia, a German, rejected the position.
In the two games he took charge of, the Eagles recorded a 3-0 win against Benin Republic on matchday 1 and held Rwanda to a 0-0 draw on matchday 2 in Kigali.

The results saw the three-time AFCON champions, on four points, top Group D.
Reflecting on how the Eagles fared in the two AFCON qualifiers, Udeze said he would not have a problem if the NFF decide to allow Eguavoen continue.
“For me Eguavoen did a good job, one win and one draw, not a bad one,” Udeze said on Brila FM. “If the NFF decided to leave him I wouldn’t have any issue with that.
“There was improvement in both games the Super Eagles played, they were able to create scoring chances, played as a team. We hope to see more improvement.“
The Eagles will be back in the AFCON qualifiers in October when they will face Libya in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, Eguavoen has denied stepping down as the interim coach of the Eagles.
After the game against Rwanda, there were reports that the NFF technical director had left the Eagles job.
However, Eguavoen has denied the reports, claiming he was misquoted.
“It’s quite unfortunate that people just trigger something that is not correct. And the situation we are in now, we don’t need negative stories
“I only talked about sitting down with the hierarchy of the federation after these two games and we will see how to go about prosecuting the next games.
“But when I saw that story I was worried. Whatever people are reading out there aren’t correct. I’m still very much in charge. I’m the Technical Director of the NFF, saddled with the responsibility of taking the Super Eagles at this moment.”
