Jose Peseiro’s contract may likely not be renewed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

According to sports desk report, the former Nigerian goalkeeper, Ike Shorunmu has revealed that Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro’s contract may likely not be renewed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Recall that the Portuguese Coach has come under heavy criticisms despite Nigeria’s qualification to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nation.

The NFF announced the appointment of Peseiro as the new Super Eagles coach on May 15, 2022, replacing Austin Eguavoen, who returned to his Technical Director role at the federation.

Following match Statistics, Mr. Peseiro has lost more games than he has won, 5 matches lost, 4 wins and the Eagles are still not playing the beautiful football Nigerians crave for, the same reason his predecessor Rohr was sacked.

Mr. Shorunmu stated that Peseiro may have done well to qualify the team to the Nations Cup but it appears he may not lead Nigeria to glory despite his repeated boast that he will win the next AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.

There is no doubt that the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro has done a good job by qualifying the team to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, that may not be enough to save his managerial job considering the fact that the team has not been playing impressing football.

Besides, the game against Sierra Leone also exposed his tactical and technical ability to read the game and to make quality substitution that will have positive effect on the team.

I have this feelings the NFF may have seen enough of him and may not want to extend his contract.
