Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has explained that the team’s performance in their 1-0 win over Egypt on Tuesday is down to a change in style.
Eguavoen began his third stint in charge of the Nigerian national team after Gernot Rohr was sacked before the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
With only a few weeks in charge, the 56-year-old has installed a new playing style that saw the Eagles beat the Pharaohs in their Group D opener.
“Every coach has their style, philosophy and leadership.
We wanted to play the attacking football that is our identity.
I told the players to see me as their brother and father.
We have a path towards the same direction, we have the privilege to serve the country, and we must always give our best,” Eguavoen told reporters after the game.
