Jose Peseiro Opens Up On Loss Of Super Eagles’ Job

The announcement by the Nigeria Football Federation to extend the interim regime of Austin Eguavoen has technically aborted the engagement of Portugal’s Jose Peseiro who was late in December announced as the new Super Eagles’ manager.

At the time, he was to assume duties after the Africa Cup of Nations in which he was to an obserer status.

With the Africa Cup of Nations over and with just weeks to Super Eagles’ main assignment of qualifying for the World Cup which he was supposed to supretend, the job suddenly everporated.

He took to his twiiter handle to express his feelings. Peseiro has not been very active on twitters even though he has nearly 106 thousand followers, he last twitted on 30 Novemeber last year before his current tweet in which he posted a statement in his native Portuguese.

Peseiro indicated that there were disagreements regarding the contractual clause and financial matters.

The google translation of the post reads: “After several weeks of negotiations, a period during which several news came out, from the Nigerian Football Federation, since I would be the coach for their selection, from the end of CAN’2021, a fact that I never confirmed, these did not materialize due to disagreement regarding contractual clauses and financial matters”.
