Having assumed the role of Nigeria’s headcoach in May 2022, Peseiro finished runner-up in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, losing 2–1 to hosts Ivory Coast.

Following the heartbreaking defeat in Abidjan, he was awarded the Order of the Niger by president Bola Tinubudays later.

Pulse Sports reported that Peseiro left his position as head coach of the Super Eagles early last month, after failing to reach an agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation on a new deal.

Peseiro has reportedly wasted no time in attracting interest from Zamalek SC and the Algeria national team, with both sides understood to be keen on securing his services.
