Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has named Super Eagles interim coach Austine Eguavoen as the best coach in the group stage of the AFCON 2021.

CAF made the announcement on their verified Twitter handle.

Eguavoen led the Super Eagles to win all their three games in Group D, the only coach to achieve the feat in the ongoing tournament.

After securing qualification into the knockout stages, the Eagles rounded up the group stage with a 2-0 win against Guinea-Bissau.
