Duke speaks on Eguavoen’s position
Duke Udi has informed Eguavoen that he needs to start delivering convincing results if he wants the Super Eagles head coach position.

He told Brila, “In football if a coach is given five years, it all boils down to the results of the 3-5 games he plays. That ‘five years’ is only on paper. Behind the scenes, it might not even last three weeks.
“AS Roma have changed two coaches this season because of results. The fans have every right to voice their opinions. If you are a coach and don’t want to be criticized, then deliver results. When the team performs well, everyone shares the glory.
“In coaching, once the team is not doing well, the bulk of the blame falls on the head coach. There is no permanent job in this field—it’s all temporary. What makes your job permanent is consistent results.

“If we look at Eguavoen’s results, they are fair. But if we look at the performances of the players and as a team, we are not playing anything. In the last game, we couldn’t even make six consecutive passes.”
Meanwhile, Duke has also advised Eguavoen to axe some players who are underperforming for the Super Eagles.
