Jose Peseiro announced his decision to step down as coach of Nigeria yesterday after leading the country to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations last month.
The 63-year-old Portuguese coach met the target of guiding the Super Eagles to the semi-final of the tournament set for him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), but opted to move on.
Peseiro said it was a great privilege to work with Nigeria and he and his staff will miss both the officials and players they have worked with over the past two years.
“It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfilment,” Peseiro posted on X, formerly Twitter, after his contract with the NFF ran out on Thursday. “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.” —SuperSport.
