Jose Peseiro announces exit as head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria

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.
