The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the appointment of Jose Peseiro as the new Super Eagles manager.
The federation said this in a statement, saying the decision was taken during its executive meeting held on Wednesday.
The statement read, “After careful consideration of a memo presented by Chairman of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee, the Executive Committee endorsed a proposal for the appointment of Mr Jose Peseiro as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles, following the end to the relationship with Mr Gernot Rohr.
“However, the committee resolved that Mr Augustine Eguavoen, named the interim Head Coach, will lead the Super Eagles to the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon with Mr Peseiro only playing the role of observer. It was unanimously agreed that the AFCON is a good avenue for Mr Peseiro to launch a working relationship with Mr Eguavoen, who will revert to his role as Technical Director (hence Mr Peseiro’s immediate boss) after the AFCON.”
The Executive Committee also mandated the Technical and Development Committee as well as the NFF secretariat to organise a friendly match for the Super Eagles when the team arrives in Garoua for the AFCON 2021, and arrange matches for the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons in the upcoming FIFA windows for international friendlies
