Confusion over sack of Peseiro as Super Eagles coach

There is some confusion and conflicting information surrounding the situation of Jose Peseiro as the Super Eagles coach. According to the information you provided, it appears that there were negotiations for a new contract with Peseiro after his initial one-year contract ran out at the end of July 2023.

However, these negotiations reportedly collapsed, possibly due to issues such as Peseiro’s monthly salary and financial constraints faced by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Initially, it was reported that the NFF had decided not to extend Peseiro’s contract due to the unsuccessful negotiations and the lack of progress.

The decision was made by the NFF’s Executive Committee after a virtual meeting chaired by NFF President Ibrahim Gusau. The NFF claimed “force majeure,” which means they are citing unforeseeable circumstances that prevent them from working with Peseiro further.

However, there is a statement from the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, stating that no decision has been made regarding Peseiro’s contract situation.

According to this statement, the NFF has not yet sacked Peseiro and has not reached a conclusion about his future as the Super Eagles coach.

This statement contradicts the earlier report that the decision was taken not to extend Peseiro’s contract.
