Earlier today, Jose Peseiro sadly bid farewell to the helm of the Super Eagles as his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has come to an end.
The esteemed coach conveyed his gratitude to Nigerian football fans, expressing immense pride in his 22-month tenure, marked by dedication, sacrifice, and AFCON second-place glory, Footballrover reports.
“Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF. It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.
We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you,” the coach wrote.

Peseiro’s departure paves the way for Austin Eguavoen, the technical director of the NFF, to step into the interim coaching role.
Eguavoen’s appointment comes as no surprise, given his customary responsibility in such transitions.
He is poised to guide the Super Eagles through the upcoming international break, potentially overseeing friendly matches in lieu of the cancelled fixture against Argentina.
Assisting Eguavoen in his interim tenure is Finidi George, a familiar face from Peseiro’s coaching staff, reflecting continuity amidst the transition.
