Former Super Eagles forward Anthony Ujah is rooting for Augustine Eguavoen to be the new substantive head coach of the team.
Eguavoen is currently managing the Super Eagles on an interim basis.
The former defender took charge of the team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda this month.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is, however, still planning to hire a foreign technical adviser for the team.
Ujah believed Eguavoen should get the job on a permanent basis.
“The team is in a transitional phase, moving from coach José Peseiro to finding a new coach,” Ujah told Brila FM.
“Eguavoen as the interim manager is one thing I’m really happy about.
“I don’t know how long he’ll be there, but he’s a good man, and the players respect him.”
Eguavoen is also expected to take charge of the Super Eagles in next month’s match against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.
