The Portuguese national and coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Jose Peseiro, has confirmed his exit from the team after his contract officially expired on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
The Portuguese manager, who took the Super Eagles to the second-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, said on Friday on his X page that he was fulfilled coaching the Nigerian national football 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,” the Punch newspaper quoted Coach Peseiro, who was also a former Porto manager, as saying on his X page.
