Portuguese tactician, Jose Peseiro has confirmed quitting the job of Super Eagles head coach.
Peseiro stated this in an X post on Friday.
This comes following the expiration of his contract just after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Recall that the 63-year-old led the Super Eagles to the final of the 2023 AFCON, narrowly losing to hosts Cote d’Ivoire.
He said it was a pride and honour to have coached Nigeria’s senior national team.
Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF.
“It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.
“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you,” he wrote.
