Former Nigerian international Peterside Idah says he’s optimistic interim head coach of the Super Eagles Augustine Eguavoen can stabilize the senior national team.
Recall the Eguavoen was in charge as Nigeria defeated Benin 3-0 before playing out a goalless draw against Rwanda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
However, in a chat with Channels Tv, Peterside threw his weight behind Eguavoen remaining with the Super Eagles for at least end of the Nations Cup qualifiers

“There have 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 stabilise 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 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,” he said.
