Interim Super Eagles manager Augustine Eguavoen has selected Enugu Rangers’ head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, and Daniel Ogunmodede of Remo Stars to assist him in plotting the downfall of the Cheetahs of Benin Republic and the Amavubi of Rwanda in the Super Eagles’ 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches this month.
A statement on Monday by the NFF Communications Department said Ilechukwu led the Flying Antelopes to triumph in Nigeria’s elite division last season, with Ogunmodede’s Remo Stars in second place.
They will be joined in Uyo by Tomaz Zorec, a fitness trainer from Slovenia, goalkeeper trainer Olatunji Baruwa, and match analyst Eboboritse Uwejamomere.
Players of the Super Eagles are expected in Uyo on Monday (September 2) to kick off preparations for Saturday’s clash with the Cheetahs at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, from 5 p.m.
The team will depart for Kigali on Sunday, September 8 for Tuesday’s matchday 2 clash with the Amavubi (Bees) of Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium, starting from 3 p.m. Rwanda time (2 p.m. Nigeria time).
