Jose Peseiro, who had been serving as the head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the past 22 months, announced via his official social media platform X on Friday, March 1, 2024, that he would be leaving the team.
This announcement came as a surprise to many, especially considering the team’s recent success at AFCON 2023, where they reached the semi-finals of the tournament. It had been widely anticipated that Peseiro, who had met the specified requirement for a contract extension, would receive an offer to continue leading the team.
