Peseiro, the head coach of the Nigerian national football team, has announced his departure from the Super Eagles

The Portuguese tactician revealed this in a terse post on social media app, X, on Friday.

Peseiro stated that he will not be renewing his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, which elapsed on February 29.

It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.

“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.

Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you,” Peseiro wrote.
