Sports Minister in Talks with Jose Peseiro for Super Eagles Head Coach Position

Written by Oryiman David Mson

Nigeria’s Sports Minister, John Enoh, has initiated discussions with former Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, regarding a potential return to lead the national team. Peseiro departed from the role in February after his contract expired, and he has since been considering offers from various African countries, including Algeria.

Despite facing criticism prior to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Peseiro guided the Super Eagles to a commendable second-place finish in the tournament held in Cote d’Ivoire. His achievements have sparked interest in his potential return to the Nigerian team.

Reports from Complete Sports Nigeria suggest that the sports minister has engaged in talks with Peseiro’s representatives, with both parties showing openness to the idea of his reinstatement as head coach. A source close to the discussions confirmed that Peseiro is willing to return, highlighting the ongoing negotiations between the relevant parties.

Amidst these developments, the technical committee overseeing the selection process has reportedly shortlisted three coaches for the job. The sports minister has emphasized the urgency of appointing a new head coach for the Super Eagles within the next two weeks.

The timing of these negotiations is significant, as Nigeria prepares for crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic scheduled for June. The appointment of a new head coach will undoubtedly influence the team’s preparations and performance in these vital matches.

As discussions progress, Nigerian football fans eagerly await the outcome, hoping for a decision that will strengthen the national team’s prospects and elevate its standing on the international stage. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
