World Cup Failure: NFF Sacks Super Eagles Technical Crew

Following the disgraceful failure of the Super Eagles to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) has sacked the entire technical crew of the senior national team.

The Super Eagles lost the ticket to the Black Stars of Ghana in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja with the visitors going through on the away-goal rule.

The interim chief coach Augustine Eguavoen earlier on Thursday announced his resignation from the position to fall back to his role as the Technical Director of the NFF.
