Continue to support Super Eagles, Peseiro urges Nigerians

Jose Peseiro has encouraged Nigerians to maintain their backing for the Super Eagles despite the heartbreaking loss to hosts Côte d’Ivoire at the AFCON 2023 in January.

Peseiro revealed his choice to resign from his position as coach of Nigeria in the beginning of last month.

The 63-year-old Portuguese coach achieved the goal of leading the Super Eagles to the tournament’s semifinals, as outlined by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), yet decided to pursue other opportunities.

‘On Thursday, the Portuguese wrote a farewell message  to Nigerians on his X handle stating,  ‘I want to thank all Nigerians and the entire press for the interest, support, and encouragement given to the Super Eagles while I was their coach.”

”I would like to ask all of you to always support your players.”
