Following that, the football federation appointed Augustine Eguavoen, its current Technical Director, as the Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser on an interim basis.
“This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three –time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria’s longest –serving manager,” a statement from NFF stated on Sunday.

“The relationship between the Nigeria Football Federation and Mr Rohr has come to an end. We thank him for his services to the Super Eagles and Nigeria,” he added.
Eguavoen, a former Nigeria captain, coached the team to a third-place finish at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. He was the Super Eagles’ on-field captain when they won the Africa Cup for the first time on foreign soil in Tunisia 27 years ago.
He will now lead the team as it begins preparations for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6, 2022, and until a permanent Head Coach is appointed.
