JUST IN: Jose Peseiro Leaves As Super Eagles Coach
After leading the Super Eagles to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) championship game, Jose Peseiro resigned as head coach.
The team was defeated by Cote d'Ivoire in the competition finale. In February, his deal with the team came to an end.
Peseiro is quitting the position, despite rumours that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was in talks to extend his contract with the Portuguese.
We completed our agreement with the NFF yesterday. Coaching the Super Eagles was an honour and a source of pride. 22 months of unwavering commitment, hardship, passion, and zeal have passed. We experience a sense of completion.
We completed our agreement with the NFF yesterday. Having the privilege and pride to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment,” he wrote on his X account Friday afternoon.
We would like to thank President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all of the staff, and most importantly, all of the PLAYERS, with whom we have had the wonderful pleasure of leading. Sir Amaju Pinnick, the president who signed us, is also our special thanks.
It has been an honour to be a part of this family, guys, and for that we are grateful. No matter where you go, we will always be here for you. We shall miss you. To all of you, a huge hug
