Former Nigerian international Friday Ekpo believes the Super Eagles players need more time to gel under interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen.
He made this known after Nigeria’s goalless draw against Rwanda in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Speaking with Completesports.com, Ekpo stated that the players are still adjusting to Eguavoen’s style of play and that it will take a couple of games for them to key into the system.
“I must congratulate the Super Eagles for their impressive display against Rwanda despite playing out a goalless draw.
“I want to believe the players are still adjusting to Eguavoen’s style of play, and I know the players will need more time to adapt to the system.”

Here they cone again o. We need a foreign coach nit Eguavoen
NFF, please, confirm Coach Eguavoen and his assistants already!
When was the last time we watched our men’s senior national team play with this kind of panache?
Any thought of a foreign coach now will be miasma to our national soccer interest.
We don’t need a coach that can’t win away matches. We won’t qualify for Wcup with a coach that replaced attacking midfielder with a defensive one in a match Ndidi-Fisayo controlled the midfield.
Fisayo is the real central midfielder, he rarely loses the ball, he tracks back, can dribble and can shoot. We are very lucky to have such a complete midfielder.
Simon balances the team. His introduction provided the wing backs to attack.
Chukwueze and Boni should not be starting whenever Awo,Osi, and Simon are available.
It’s becoming clearer that only Osi & Awo are the aggressive and direct top 9 in the team.
The moment you added Awoniyi to the mix of starters then I knew you’re sick.
Hehehehehe we are back to winning ways….
Osimhen remains the top striker of the super eagles…
Lmao…
What now happened… isn’t Rwanda one of those cheap team that he likes scoring against?
I told you all that that hia goal against benin was a fluke…
Lmao… osimhen is finished…
If it wasn’t, he would have scored something similar in that 3rd clear goal scoring opportunity that he had in the same game or he would have have scored something similar or close to it or even anyhow goal self…but nothing…
