AFCON 2021: ‘I’m Not Sleeping Well’– Eguavoen

Super Eagles Caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen has revealed that he has not been sleeping well.

The former Super Eagles player held that his inability to have enough sleep is due to preparation ahead of the imminent Africa Cup of Nations.

The 56-year-old could not sleep well as he has been busy buckling his shoes in ensuring that the Super Eagles perform to the expectation of Nigerians in the tournament.

The former Gent defender took over the coaching job less than three weeks ago following Gernot Rohr’s dismissal.

Howbeit, the ex-Sunshine Stars manager has began to feel ill at ease for fans expect him to go great guns in his recently taken role.

Eguavoen told NFF TV:  “It’ s tough. I don’ t sleep well because of expectations, but I know not everybody; how do I put it now.”

“There are people out there who want us to succeed, there are few people out there who are also in doubt, but we will do everything humanly possible to stick together – the team – the entire federation, officials.”

“And we will do what we can to make sure we put smiles on the faces of Nigerians.”
