The head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro will be at the U20 Africa Cup of Nations which will begin this weekend in Egypt, OGN can exclusively reveal.
Peseiro has already picked four players from the Ladan Bosso tutored side to join his team when they resume preparation for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where they will take on Guinea Bissau in back to back games.
As first reported by OGN, the four players are centre backs Daniel Bamaiyi, central midfield duo of Daniel Daga and Ogbule Onuche, top striker Adams Olamilekan completes the list. The idea is to integrate them in to the team at am early stage.
However a final decision on their inclusion will be taken after the U20 Africa Cup of Nations with Peseiro keen on watching how they will hold their own against the rest of the continent.
More players could be added but there is also the tendency of another player taking the spot of any of the aforementioned quartet. The tournament is the qualifiers for the U20 World Cup later in the year.
