NFF Considers Rehiring Jose Peseiro For Super Eagles
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly considering rehiring former Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro as they continue their search for a new head coach.
Peseiro, who led the national team to a second-place finish in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, parted ways with the NFF in February 2024 after contract negotiations fell through due to wage disputes.
Hence, the NFF had to appoint his assistant coach, Finidi George who didn’t spend more than two months on the job before he resigned.
The former Enyimba of Aba decided to walk away from the job after reports went viral that the NFF was planning to appoint a foreign technical adviser whom he would work under.

Jose Peseiro who has been without a job since he exited the Super Eagles is reportedly discussing his return to the job according to Vodia Sports International Management agent, Gerald Baloyi.
“Yes Vodia Sports International Management offered Jose Peseiro to Sundowns, though the Nigerian national teams are interested in bringing him to take over again,” Baloyi told KickOff.
