AFCON 2023: 'Money and bonuses are the last things on my mind' admit Peseiro ahead of Equatorial Guinea clash

Despite reports that he is owed wages by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Peseiro remains unfazed and committed to his role, emphasizing the importance of on-field results over financial concerns.

Peseiro, who took charge of the Super Eagles two years ago, has a history of dealing with unpaid wages. His previous stint in Venezuela ended amidst controversies over unpaid salaries. 

Now, facing similar issues with the NFF, Peseiro has chosen not to focus on these matters publicly. He made it clear that his main concern is aiding the team's improvement and not the ongoing talks about his salary and bonuses. 

He firmly believes that discussions about money should be secondary to achieving good results on the field.

As the Super Eagles prepare for their opening game against Equatorial Guinea in Ivory Coast, Peseiro's commitment to his role and focus on the AFCON trophy is evident. 

Peseiro stated during his press conference, "Money and bonuses should be the last discussion, we need good results first. We all need money, but money is the last discussion. I don't discuss my salary and bonuses with the media.” 

The Super Eagles will kickoff their 2023 AFCON journey against Equatorial Guinea by 3pm WAT on Sunday.
