Eguavoen had led the three-time winners to victories over Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau in a row.

In the final stages, however, they were defeated by a Tunisian team suffering from Covid.

Eguavoen announced his decision to return to his duties as the NFF’s Technical Director at a post-match press conference.

“What happens next is that I am the Nigeria Football Federation’s temporary coach and Technical Director” (NFF).

“I’m going back to my position and waiting for the NFF to make a decision,” Eguavoen stated after the game.

After Gernot Rohr was fired last month, Eguavoen took over. Prior to the start of the AFCON, the NFF confirmed Jose Peseiro as the new permanent coach.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
