Former Nigeria international tells NFF to sack Eguavoen
Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arthur Ebunam has urged those in charge of Nigerian football to immediately sack Augustine Eguavoen as coach of the Super Eagles hours before the crucial game against Ghana.
Arthur Ebunam is of the view that Eguavoen does not have the quality to handle the Super Eagles and wants the Nigerian Football Federation to replace him with another gaffer.
