Former Super Eagles manager Austine Eguavoen has disclosed that the essence of his visit to Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park was solely based on the request of Tosin Adarabioyo.
The 25-year-old was an unused substitute on Monday as Fulham grabbed a vital win away at Crystal Palace with the Premier League, making a grand return following the month-long World Cup break.
Eguavoen, who has been without a managerial job since leaving his position as head coach of the Super Eagles following failure to qualify the team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, spent his Boxing day celebrations in London.
He clarified this on Tuesday afternoon with a simple tweet, “How I spent my Boxing Day – Crystal Palace vs Fulham.”
Although having represented England between the under-16 and under-19 levels, Adarabioyo is yet to make his senior debut for the European country, making him eligible to represent Nigeria through descent.
Despite missing the opportunity to watch Adarabioyo play, Eguavoen, who currently focuses on his position as the Technical Director at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), spent the matchday watching Crystal Palace’s duo of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
