The Portuguese international was speaking in an interview at a pre-match press conference ahead of the quarter-final clash against Cameroon on Saturday, January 27, 2024. He was speaking about what the future holds for him as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
“The difficulties are many, but I have never exposed them and I will not expose them. There is so much misleading information.
