While fielding questions after the marathon meeting, Mazi Amanze Uchegbulam, the first vice president of the NFA, rather retorted; “Why disband the Eagles? We will re-enforce the team for the challenges ahead”.

Uchegbulam also stated that the team’s Technical Adviser, Lars Lagerback, has embarked on a two-week vacation and Austin Eguavoen has been directed to hold forth in the Swede’s absence.

“While Technical Adviser Lars Lagerback observes his two-week leave in Sweden, Coach Augustine Eguavoen will take temporary charge of the national team.

“Henceforth, there will be only one Super Eagles, with no foreign-based or home-based appellations”, Uchegbulam said.
