Jose Peseiro’s fate to be decided on public opinion — NFF

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced its intention to involve Nigerian football enthusiasts in the decision-making process regarding the future of Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro.

Ibrahim Gusau, the President of the NFF, stated that the football governing body would seek public opinion before finalizing their stance on Jose Peseiro, whose contract is set to expire at the end of this month.

Rumors have circulated that the NFF will propose a pay cut to Peseiro as a condition for him to continue leading the Super Eagles. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached with the Portuguese coach, former Super Eagles stars Finidi George and Emmanuel Amuneke have reportedly been identified as potential replacements.

Gusau emphasized that the NFF has yet to make a definitive decision on Peseiro’s future and believes it is crucial to gather public input before proceeding further.

“We have a plan to engage Nigerians and hear their opinions regarding this decision,” Gusau explained during an interview on the Gbamm! LovingFootball Show.

“We have tried both foreign and domestic coaches, and it appears that each had encountered certain difficulties. However, we may not have succeeded in identifying the right person for the role. Therefore, we are determined to present the matter to the public and ascertain whether we should continue with Peseiro or seek alternative options.”

The NFF’s approach underscores their commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the decision-making process, acknowledging the importance of considering the views and preferences of Nigerian football enthusiasts.

By actively involving the public, the NFF aims to ensure that the next step taken regarding the Super Eagles’ coaching position aligns with the aspirations of Nigerian football fans.

The role of the national team coach holds significant responsibility, and the NFF acknowledges the challenges faced in recent times. As they explore potential options, including the possibility of Peseiro remaining in charge, the input of the public will play a vital role in shaping the future direction of Nigerian football.

Football enthusiasts across the country eagerly await the opportunity to voice their opinions and contribute to the decision-making process. The NFF’s commitment to seeking public input demonstrates their determination to learn from past experiences and make a considered choice that will lead to the continued growth and success of the Super Eagles on the international stage.

As discussions unfold and the public’s perspectives are gathered, the NFF will carefully evaluate the feedback received before arriving at a final decision on the fate of Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro.
