José Pereiro, former super eagles coach, has reaffirmed his departure from the Super Eagles, putting an end to speculation about a potential return.
Peseiro’s statement comes as a result of announcements made by Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) declaring the position of Super Eagles head coach vacant following the expiration of his contract in February.
In an interview with Sports Italia, Peseiro emphasized that his tenure with the Super Eagles had concluded.
“As i said, my work with the super eagles is over.It was gratifying to coach players of such quality, with my staff we managed to do well in this sense, but the time has come to move on to another project,” he stated.
During his 22-month tenure, Peseiro made significant strides with the Super Eagles, guiding the team to a commendable second position at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Notable applicants include Emmanuel Amuneke, Sunday Oliseh, Finidi George, Daniel Amokachi, and Antonio Conceicao, among others.
