Jose Peseiro has announced his resignation as the head coach of the Super Eagles, just weeks after leading them to a historic runner-up finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Portuguese tactician, who took over the reins of the Nigerian national team in June 2022, revealed his decision in a heartfelt post on X on Friday, March 1, 2024.
“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,”
