JUST IN: Peseiro Officially Resigns As Super Eagles Head Coach
Peseiro made his decision on social media on Friday afternoon.
Jose Peseiro, Super Eagles head coach, has confirmed that he will not renew his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Peseiro's contract officially expired on Thursday.
Since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations ended, there has been uncertainty about his future.
The Portuguese led the Super Eagles to second place in the competition, losing 2-1 to hosts Cote d'Ivoire in the final.
Peseiro made his decision on social media on Friday afternoon.
"We finished our contract with the NFF yesterday. It was a privilege and honour to coach the Super Eagles. It's been 22 months of incredible dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enthusiasm. "We feel fulfilled," reads a statement on his X account.
"We would want to show our appreciation to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all of the staff, and, most importantly, all of the PLAYERS, with whom leadership has been a pleasure.
