The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has sacked all the technical crew members of the Super Eagles, according to reports.
The development is not unconnected to the failure of the three-times African champions to go past Ghana for a place in this year’s FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar from November.
In a press statement issued by Dr Mohammed Sanusi, the NFF Secretary General, the Football body also terminated the two years and half contract previously offered to members of the crew.
“Following the failure of the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the erstwhile Technical Adviser, Augustine Eguavoen, has stepped down from that position with immediate effect.
“The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect.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,” said NFF General Secretary, Sanusi.
