According to the publication, Eguavoen and Bosso will also lead the Super Eagles to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Augustine Eguavoen, Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has made it clear that he has no interest whatsoever in taking up the Super Eagles coaching role.
There were reports in the media that the NFF has lined up Eguavoen and Ladan Bosso as replacement for Chelle should the Super Eagles fail to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to the publication, Eguavoen and Bosso will also lead the Super Eagles to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Eguavoen said he is hurt with the baseless rumours.
“I feel very hurt by these baseless rumours because I really have no idea where they are coming from.
"I have a very good working relationship with Coach Eric Chelle, and I have absolutely no interest in taking over the squad.
"I am praying for him to succeed,” Eguavoen told thenff.com.
The Super Eagles will be in action against the Crocodiless of Lesotho on Friday.
