NFF set to renew Super Eagles’ coach, Jose Peseiro’s contract
In a development sure to leave Nigerian fans with mixed opinions, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly finalizing a new contract with Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro.
The Portuguese tactician is set to continue his tenure with the national team, leading them until the conclusion of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
Peseiro’s existing contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this month. However, contrary to previous reports suggesting that an extension would not be offered, a reliable source has revealed to DAILY POST that both parties are on the verge of reaching an agreement on a new deal.
Under the terms of the proposed contract, Peseiro would continue to serve as the helm of the Super Eagles, the three-time African champions, throughout the upcoming AFCON campaign. The extension is subject to the team’s performance in the tournament, which will play a crucial role in determining the Portuguese coach’s long-term future with the squad.
Having been appointed by the NFF in May of the previous year, Peseiro brought a wealth of experience to the role, having previously managed national teams such as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. His coaching expertise and strategic acumen have helped shape the Super Eagles’ playing style and enhance their performance on the international stage.
The NFF’s decision to pursue a contract extension with Peseiro reflects their confidence in his ability to guide the team to success in the forthcoming 2023 AFCON. The tournament, which will be hosted by Cote d’Ivoire, presents an excellent opportunity for Nigeria to showcase their talent and compete for continental glory.
As negotiations between Jose Peseiro and the NFF near their conclusion, the football fraternity eagerly anticipates the formal announcement of the contract extension.
Super Eagles fans and football enthusiasts alike will be hoping that the Portuguese coach can lead the team to new heights and build upon their recent missteps with the Nigerian national team.
With Jose Peseiro at the helm, the Super Eagles are poised to embark on an exciting journey, aiming to make their mark at the 2023 AFCON and continue their pursuit of excellence on the African football stage.
