According to reports from Soccernet, players within the Super Eagles squad are rallying behind Jose Peseiro to continue as the team’s head coach.
Despite his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expiring on February 29, there has been no official announcement regarding his future.
While Peseiro confirmed the end of his short-term deal on social media, the NFF has yet to make a decision.Speculation suggests that Augustine Eguavoen, the NFF technical director, might step in as the interim manager.

However, former Nigeria internationals like Emmanuel Amuneke, Finidi George, and Samson Siasia have also been linked with the role. Despite these rumors, it seems the players are still in favor of Peseiro. They appreciate his leadership, especially after guiding them to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and are hesitant about the prospect of a local coach taking over.
