There is a popular saying that success has many admirers while failure is an orphan.

This agelong analogy appears to be playing out at the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cameroon where the Super Eagles are hoping for a fourth continental title.

One man that has been on the lips of many is coach Augustine Eguavoen who is seen to be leading a revival in Nigeria national team.

On Monday via his Twitter handle, Eguavoen revealed he was visited by Bayern Munich legend Osei Kuffour 

Known for his great physical power, Kuffour is best remembered for his time with Bayern Munich, whom he represented for over a decade, winning a total of 14 honours, and playing in nearly 250 official matches. 

Kuffour spent 11 seasons with Bayern, rising from the youth teams to be a prominent first-squad member who lifted the UEFA Champions League with the club.

He was an integral part of the squad that won the 2000–01 Champions League, also scoring the winning goal in the 2001 Intercontinental Cup, being subsequently named man of the match.
