• Portuguese gaffer, Jose Peseiro is the handler of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
• The former Venezuela coach has been in charge of Nigeria since May 2022
• Peseiro has now explained that he wants to qualify Nigeria for the next AFCON

Jose Peseiro, the gaffer of the Super Eagles, has refused to give affirmative comment on his future with the three-time African champions ahead of the battle against Sierra Leone.

It has been a year since the Portuguese was appointed as the coach of the Super Eagles. He replaced Austin Eguavoen, who failed to qualify Nigeria for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Peseiro was hired under the Amaju Pinnick-led Nigerian Football Federation board and he was reported to have signed a one-year deal.

The results he has gotten so far as Super Eagles coach have not been impressive, and that has led to many Nigerian football fans urging the new NFF chiefs to let him go.

“My future with the Super Eagles is to train today, and tomorrow prepare for the Sierra Leone game, beat them, and qualify for AFCON.''

Peseiro wants to qualify the Super Eagles for the next edition and try his best to lift the title.
