In response to a question about why he doesn't occasionally try to sit down and relax his body during games, Peseiro acknowledged that being mobile helps him lose a few kilogrammes, which would please his wife.
Peseiro said, told MaisFutebol as reported by Soccernet, “If you know me, I’m like that on the bench,”
“My wife says I’m fat and, if I’m standing up, I can lose four or five kilos, and she’ll be happier.
“Then, because I’m an interventionist coach, even though the players sometimes they don’t listen to me.”
Peseiro's Super Eagles will play South Africa in the AFCON semi-final that is scheduled to take place in Abidjan.
