Coach of the Super Eagles Peseiro steps down.

It has been confirmed by Jose Peseiro that he is no longer the Nigerian Super Eagles’ coach.

This is in response to his contract expiring shortly after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which was recently concluded.

The Portuguese strategist called coaching the Super Eagles an honor and a source of pride in a series of tweets posted on his X account on Friday.

Along with his backroom crew, Peseiro announced his departure, acknowledging that they will miss the team, “but we will always be there for you.”

He wrote, “Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF.

“It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.

“We would like to thank President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all of the staff, and especially all of the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a wonderful pleasure. Sir Amaju Pinnick signed us.

“Guys, we’re grateful; being a part of this family has been an honor. No matter where you are, you can always count on our support, even though we will miss you. I’m sending you all huge hugs.

Jose Peseiro has been eyed by Algeria to be the next manager.
Coach Jose Peseiro, who guided Nigeria to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, has piqued the interest of the Algeria Football Federation.

This happened after Djamel Belmadi was let go after an extremely poor performance at the recently finished AFCON competition.

Belmadi was sacked after the country was unable to progress past the Group stages.

Peseiro guided Nigeria to the 34th AFCON championship game, where they were defeated 2–1 by the Ivory Coast hosts.

Walid Sadi, the president of the Algerian football federation, is reportedly impressed by Peseiro’s qualifications and is open to speaking with the Portuguese strategist about taking over as head coach of their national team, according to the Algerian daily DZ Foot.

The website stated that three names—José Peseiro, 63, Vladimir Petkovic, 60, and Carlos Queiroz, 70—are on the shortlist that the FAF’s ad hoc commission established but did not make public.Despite the fact that Carlos Queiroz’s name has recently resurfaced as the FAF’s ultimate selection, our knowledge indicates that José Peseiro will ultimately be Walid Sadi’s preferred candidate.

“In fact, the individual who led Nigeria to the 2023 CAN championship would have had direct access to the president of the Algerian football association, who would have been enticed by his reputation and oratory, not to mention the monetary element.”
