The search for a new coach for the senior national team of Nigeria appears to have come to an end in the words of a chieftain of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria have been without a coach since the exit of Finidi George after a poor performance in the recently concluded world cup qualifiers, where the team were held to a 1-1 draw by South Africa before losing 1-2 to Benin Republic.
Reacting to our report on the possible return of Jose Peseiro as coach of the team as said by Gerald Baloyi of local agency, Vodia Sports International Management. He reached out to explain what is happening at the moment.
” I don’t know where you people got that report from or the agent who was quoted in the story. I can tell you the Super Eagles already have a new coach and it’s not Jose Peseiro. At the appropriate time when all is done and dusted he will be announced and it’s certainly before the next international round of games”, he said.
” Nigerians need to trust us (NFF) that we will make the best decision in the interest of Nigerian football and of course there are interest here and there but we have picked the one we believe is the best for the team looking at our current standing in the world cup qualifiers as well as the group we are in for the AFCON qualifiers”.
