Former Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, issued a heartfelt message to Nigerians after officially parting ways with the national team.
In a statement released today, Peseiro expressed his gratitude to the fans and media for their unwavering support during his tenure. He specifically urged Nigerians to continue backing the Super Eagles in their future endeavors.
“I want to thank all Nigerians and the entire press for the interest, support, and encouragement given to the Super Eagles while I was their coach,” Peseiro said. “I would like to ask all of you to always support your players.”
Peseiro highlighted the dedication and sacrifices made by the players in representing their nation.
“These athletes give their all for the Super Eagles, taking pride in representing their country,” Peseiro continued. “The players make sacrifices to bring you joy.”
He concluded by emphasizing the importance of continued support for the team as they face upcoming challenges.
“The Super Eagles deserve all your support, which will be very important for the great challenges that lie ahead,” Peseiro declared.
Peseiro’s departure comes after his contract with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) expired on February 29th, 2024. He led the Super Eagles to a second-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations but failed to secure convincing wins in the early stages of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. While his future in management remains uncertain, Peseiro’s call for continued support for the Super Eagles is sure to resonate with passionate Nigerian fans.
