Peseiro's Prospects with Super Eagles
Jose Peseiro, who previously steered the Super Eagles through 23 matches during his tenure, stands as a prime candidate for continuation in the role. His contract expired last month, culminating in a notable AFCON 2023 campaign that secured a commendable second-place finish in Ivory Coast. Peseiro's journey with the Nigerian squad appears far from over.
According to sources from the federation, discussions between Peseiro and the NFF are underway to solidify the terms of an enhanced contract. Finance emerges as a primary sticking point in negotiations, with both parties striving to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
While the NFF has reportedly extended an offer of $80,000, details regarding the final terms remain subject to ongoing talks.
