Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has selected Fidelis Ilechukwu and Daniel Ogunmodede to assist him in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Ademola Olajire, Director of Communications for the Nigeria Football Federation, said on Monday that Enugu Rangers’ head coach, Ilechukwu, and Remo Stars’ Ogunmodede would help Eguavoen for the two matches.
“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,” Olajire said.
He stated that players and officials from the three-time African champions are due in Uyo on Monday to begin preparations for Saturday’s match against the Cheetahs at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium at 5 p.m.
Olajire stated that the team would depart for Kigali on Sunday for Tuesday’s Matchday 2 battle with the Bees of Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium, which begins at 2 p.m.
