Super Eagles coach Austin Eguavoen is on the verge of matching his own record as the only man to have coached Nigeria to win all three matches in the group phase of the AFCON since the country started participating at this level since 1963, if he gets the maximum points today’s with Guinea Bissau.
He was head coach when the Eagles defeated Ghana 1-0, Zimbabwe 2-0 and Senegal 2-1 at the Al Masry Stadium, Port Said to sweep the stakes at the 2006 finals.
In 14 previous matches across three stints, the 1994 AFCON winner and two-time FIFA World Cup defender has left the field victorious in 12 matches, losing only two – the 0-1 defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in the semifinal of the 2006 finals and a 2012 AFCON qualifier in Guinea.
