Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has expressed his full support for Jose Peseiro, stating that he believes the former Venezuela coach is the ideal candidate to lead the Super Eagles in the upcoming 2023 African Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian Football Federation officials are still deliberating on Peseiro’s future as the coach of the three-time African champions, as his contract expired at the end of June.
When did NFF hire Peseiro?
Peseiro’s journey as the Super Eagles boss started after the team failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, losing the playoffs against Ghana.
“The coach is tactically sound and he is in control of the Super Eagles squad, which is very, very important.
“He knows what he wants.”
