The future of the current coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro is up in the air with six months left to go on the one year deal he signed early this year.
Peseiro was due an extension after the postponement of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations to 2024 but talks have gone cold after preliminary exchange of ideas between the parties involved.
He is now free to look at other options if they come up especially as he hasn’t been paid since taking over as coach as first reported by Owngoalnigeria.com. The pay situation is also part of why he is mulling over quitting his role as coach.
Promised were made by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that the minister for youths and sports, who accepted to pay the wages of the coach has already forwarded his case but that was three weeks ago and nothing has happened since then.
We also gathered that the coach hasn’t met with the new president of the NFF Ibrahim Musa Gusau since he was elected. The president wasn’t at the game played against Portugal in Lisbon , they were expected to meet there.
