Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Nigeria coach, Christian Chukwu, has questioned Augustine Eguavoen\u2019s match-reading skills.<\/p>\n

Chukwu criticized the Super Eagles interim Technical Adviser for not tweaking his tactics against Tunisia in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, which saw the team exit the tournament in a 1-0 defeat.<\/p>\n

The 1980 AFCON-winning captain however admitted that Eguavoen has made huge strides forward as a coach, as compared to the time when they worked together eight years ago.<\/p>\n

Chukwu was the Super Eagles head coach, and Eguavoen was his assistant at the 2004 Afcon, where Nigeria claimed a bronze medal.<\/p>\n

Eguavoen will continue with the national team for their 2022 World Cup playoffs against Ghana next month, but Emmanuel Amuneke has been added to the coaching crew.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the crucial two-legged ties, Chukwu has advised Eguavoen to continue to improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Eguavoen) has become a far better coach from the time he worked with me as an assistant.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has gained more experience; he has handled strong teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, I think he didn\u2019t get the tactics right during the round of 16 match against Tunisia; he could have changed his tactics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he only needs to work more on his match-reading abilities, and he will be a perfect coach,\u201d Chukwu told the New Telegraph<\/p>\n
