Super Eagles of Nigeria gaffer Augustine Eguavoen has been awarded the best coach in the just concluded group stage of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Eagles boss guided his team to a 100% record in the group phase, winning his three games out of three.
Eguavoen who replaced Gernot Rohr few weeks before the kickoff of the tournament has proved doubters wrong as he produced the kind of performance Nigerians have been craving for.
Nigeria are into the Round of 16 as the only team with this record this year and the organizers have appreciated the effort of the 56-year old.
Nigeria play Tunisia on Sunday in the knockout stages and a repeat of this performance is the expectations of Nigerians.
