Former Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen has been appointed interim head coach of the Super Falcons for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying fixtures against Comoros in October.
This development follows the sacking of Justin Madugu and his technical crew last month.
The Nigeria Football Federation announced the appointment in a statement on Tuesday, saying the move was temporary as the search for a substantive coach for the women’s senior national team continues.
“Former Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen will lead Nigeria’s Senior Women’s National Team, the Super Falcons, on an interim basis for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying fixtures against Comoros in October, as the search for a substantive head coach for the team continues,” the statement read.
Madugu and his technical crew were ordered to step down on August 17, days after Nigeria’s disappointing campaign at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and subsequent failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
