Jose Peseiro urges Nigerians to support Super Eagles after silver-winning Afcon 2023

Former Nigeria head coach, Jose Peseiro has urged Nigerians to keep supporting the team despite his exit.

The Portuguese tactician led Nigeria to the silver medal in the last Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

According to reports, the former Porto manager has received his outstanding salaries for 17 months, totalling $850,000 (over ₦1.3 billion).

Despite this, the former Porto manager is not open to returning to the Super Eagles setup as he is looking to take up a managerial role elsewhere.

“I want to thank all Nigerians and the entire press for the interest, support, and encouragement given to the Super Eagles while I was their coach,” he wrote on his X.

“I would like to ask all of you to always support your players. These athletes give their all for the Super Eagles, taking pride in representing their country.

“The players make sacrifices to bring you joy. The Super Eagles deserve all your support, which will be very important for the great challenges that lie ahead.”
