Coach Augustine Eguavoen has stopped President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick and other guests from seeing the Super Eagles in their dressing room.
Eguavoen made this known ahead of the Super Eagles encounter against Tunisia at a press conference, where he stressed the measure was to ensure his players are not distracted.
Against Egypt and Sudan, Pinnick was in the dressing room at half time to motivate the Super Eagles, but Eguavoen has said the half-time break is needed for the players and coaches to discuss tactics.
“We talked about timing and I am still talking about it. It’s our culture – motivation is good. Guests can have short discussions with the team at the restaurant and not inside the dressing room.
“Against Egypt was the only time when the NFF president and the Air Peace president came to see the team and it was five minutes. In the second and third games, no one came to see the team. I don’t think this will happen tomorrow (Sunday),” Eguavoen said.
TNG reports the Super Eagles at the Stade Roumdé Adjia, will play Tunisia at 8 pm today.
