Former Nigerian international, Peterside Idah, fully supports interim Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen, stating that he can bring stability to the national team.
Eguavoen led Nigeria to a 3-0 win against Benin and a goalless draw with Rwanda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
In a recent conversation, Peterside said Eguavoen should be allowed continue his role until the end of the AFCON qualifiers.
“There has been debate everywhere—should Eguavoen be kept? Will Eguavoen leave, or do we bring a foreign coach? I think the national team is beginning to stabilize in the last two games we played, that is my take.
“I think we should allow Eguavoen to finish what he has started. Remember, he has been with this team for years. We had an issue when we did not qualify for the World Cup in the game with Ghana.
“He was in charge, and I have always told people we did not lose that game, but people became angry because we did not qualify,” Peterside said.
