Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has made four changes to the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of their game against Zimbabwe in the race to be at the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, USA and Canada.
The Super Eagles started their campaign on a sour note by drawing 1-1 against minnows Lesotho at their home ground in Uyo. The result has now made winning against Zimbabwe non negotiable if they want to keep up with the dream of qualifying for the world cup.
Peseiro has also come under heavy fire with his role now under serious scrutiny with the team having an inglorious record of losing 60 percent of the games they have played since he was appointed as coach of the team.
He has responded by ringing changes to the set up ahead of tomorrow’s game with four players who started against Lesotho dropping out of the starting lineup.
He made two changes in defence with Bruno Onyemaechi coming in for Jamilu Collins, while Ola Aina takes the place of Bright Osayi-Samuel as the right back of the team.
In attack Moses Simon replaces Ademola Lookman on the left flank while Terem Moffi will take the place of Taiwo Awoniyi, who has returned back to England with a groin complaint.
