Nigeria will host Libya in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers in October, but the NFF is yet to announce any coach for the assignment.
Ahead of Nigeria's double header against Libya, former Super Eagles forward Anthony Ujah has expressed his support for Augustine Eguavoen to continue leading the Nigerian national team.

Ujah, believes that Eguavoen is the right man for the job while the NFF is still searching for a foreign expatriate to take over the Super Eagles.
"The team is in a transitional phase, moving from coach José Peseiro to finding a new coach. Eguavoen as the interim manager is one thing I'm really happy about," Ujah told Brila FM.
Ujah praised Eguavoen's leadership qualities and the respect he commands from the players. He also highlighted the importance of a harmonious relationship between players and coaches, referencing the recent conflict between Victor Osimhen and Finidi George.

“One thing in football is that if players don’t respect the coach, it becomes difficult. Unfortunately for Finidi, that’s what happened.
