Former Super Eagles’ captain and coach, Austin Eguavoen believes 101-capped Vincent Enyeama is still the best man for the senior national team captaincy despite the recent shake-up in the team.
Chief Coach Sunday Oliseh Tuesday announced a change of baton that saw the emergence of striker Ahmed Musa as the new captain of the Eagles in what the coach described as a change he can’t help but to effect.
To Eguavoen, a 2006 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) bronze winning coach, that issue of a team’s captaincy is a sensitive matter.
He, however, admits that the prerogative of who becomes the captain of a team lies with the Chief Coach whose choice is often guided by the prevailing team’s philosophy.
“This is a very sensitive situation, but every coach comes with his own philosophy and style of preparation, and we have to accept it.
“But, I think Vincent should continue as captain, he’s in form, he’s doing well and there’s nothing wrong with that.
However, if Oliseh has decided he wants somebody else, then Vincent and all of us have to accept it,” Eguavoen said in an interview with Brila FM early Wednesday.
