Speaking with journalists after the Super Eagles 2-0 victory against Guinea-Bissau, Emmanuelking was effusive in praises of the team. He noted that the performances of the team have rekindled the love of soccer-loving Nigerians in them.
“The boys have brought renewed hope, joy, and happiness to Nigerians. And I can also confirm that they have rekindled the love of soccer-loving Nigerians in the team.
” I’m particularly happy and hopeful that they continue their impressive displays, as we all look forward to our boys returning to Nigeria with the cup,” he enthused.
On Sunday at the Stade Roumdé Adjia, Super Eagles will file out with three wins in three from their group phase campaign. The Tunisians were only able to defeat Mauritania while losing to Mali and The Gambia. Both countries are led by indigenous coaches. Mondher Kebaier will sit on the Tunisians’ bench.
The match will be Eguavoen’s 16th for Nigeria across three stints, during which he has walked off the pitch victorious in 13 of the previous 15, with only two narrow defeats. He is also the only man to have coached Nigeria to win all three group phase matches at the AFCON, achieving this in both his AFCON odysseys in 2006 and 2022.
