Nigeria’s Football Federation (NFF) appoints Augustine “Cerezo” Eguavoen as interim head coach of the Super Falcons ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers. Multiple outlets report that he takes charge for the team’s matches against Comoros, with the federation continuing its search for a permanent coach.
The reports agree on the interim nature of the appointment and the upcoming qualifier fixture versus Comoros in October. They also frame the decision within recent changes at the coaching level: Legit.ng and Vanguard mention a transitional period, including the resignation of Justine Madugu. Daily Post Nigeria adds details on the supporting staff, saying Eguavoen is assisted by Christopher Danjuma, head coach of Nasarawa Amazons, and Olatunji Baruwa, a former Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer. Premium Times similarly focuses on Eguavoen’s role leading Nigeria for the qualifiers while the NFF evaluates candidates for a substantive appointment.
