AFCON 2021: Eguavoen won’t perform magic with Super Eagles in Cameroun – Udeze

Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze says new interim coach Austin Eguavoen and his crew will struggle with the Super Eagles at next year’s AFCON.

Udeze said this in Thursday’s edition of Sports Breakfast Show on Brila FM.

Eguavoen was drafted in as a replacement for Gernot Rohr who was sacked as Eagles head coach.

The former Eagles defender will take charge of the team at next month’s tournament.

In his first AFCON as Eagles coach, he led the team to a third-placed finish.

And ahead of the next edition, Udeze expresses doubts positing that the time is too short for Eguavoen and his coaching crew to impact anything on the team.

“It’s going to be very difficult for Eguavoen and his coaching crew to do anything with the Super Eagles at next year’s AFCON,” Udeze said.

“The problem is that the time is too short for them to perform, no friendly game has been lines up to prepare the team so it would be very difficult for them to do well.

“But I wish them all the best and hope they do well.”

The Eagles are in Group D with Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan.
