The Head Coach of Nigeria’s Senior Men National Team, José Santos Peseiro has concluded his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He was appointed in May 2022 and coached the Super Eagles to win silver medal at Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.
NFF is yet to clarify its position on the development. Calls to Director of Communications, Mr. Ademola Olajire ran through unanswered.
Peseiro wrote on his X page: “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 fulfilment.
“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”.
