Former head coach of the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen, has said the team can still qualify for next year’s World Cup.
The 59-year-old took over after the team on an interim basis after Finidi George resigned after two matches.
Eguavoen helped the three-time African champions qualify for the 2025 AFCON tournament, before Eric Chelle was appointed on a permanent basis.
The Eagles currently occupy fourth position in their World Cup qualifying group.
Chelle’s men would need to take maximum points from their remaining fixtures to stand a chance of clinching the sole ticket.
“It’s a tight rope we’re walking, but everything is possible. With the boys we have now and every Nigerian coming together, it is doable. I’m 100% sure because the players want to be at the World Cup.
“I’m not looking back at the last game, I’m looking forward to the next one. That’s the mindset: one game at a time, treat every game like a final,” Eguavoen told ACL Sports.
