The 63-year-old has not enjoyed good results in charge of the Super Eagles, which has led to fans and many Nigerians urging the NFF executives to free him.

Last month, NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau explained that his board will decide Peseiro's future based on the opinions of Nigerian football fans.

According to reports on Complete Sports and Daily Post, Osimhen stated emphatically that Peseiro is a sound coach.
