Jose Peseiro, Nigeria Super Eagles’ coach has resigned his appointment as the head coach and made this public in a post on social media app, X on Friday.
He stated: “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 express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you”, Peseiro added.
He led the Super Eagles to a second place position at the just concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
Recently, there were reports that the Ibrahim Gusau-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was in talks with Peseiro to renew his contract for the the same €50,000 monthly pay he was earning before the finals of the AFCON 2023 games.
