The sack of Gernot Rohr as Super Eagles coach after six years in the saddle and his replacement by Nigeria Football Federation technical director, Austin Eguavoen as the interim coach of the team, has continued to elicit mixed reactions from the football community.

Speaking further, the youthful sportspreneur and philanthropist continued, ” Eguavoen can lead the present talented squad we have to glory and deliver the cup. I believe in his ability and experience, ” Egbayelo, who is also the proprietor of Lagos-based nationwide side Iganmu FC, enthused confidently.
