NFF debunks plan to replace Eagles’ coach, Peseiro, with Finidi, Amuneke

Jose Peseiro

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has refutted reports that it has decided to appoint current Super Eagles’ assistant coach and Enyimba FC of Aba handler, Finidi George and Emmanuel Amuneke as replacements for Jose Peseiro, whose one-year contract will soon expire.   The NFF was, last week, reported to have thrown the choice of senior national team coach open for Nigerians to decide through a poll. But the federation later came out to deny the story.  

“I am just getting back to Abuja after attending a programme. On my part, I feel Peseiro just qualified for the 2024 AFCON and he has a game left. Discussions on his contract when it expires should be after the last AFCON qualifier game,” he said.       NFF Media Director, Ademola Olajire, corroborated Eguavoen’s stance, saying that he has not been briefed on the possible appointment of the former Super Eagles players to handle the national team.
