Revealed – Real Reason Why NFF Shelved Handing Super Eagles Job To Peseiro

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has moved on from the idea of appointing Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro as first revealed by OwnGoalNigeria.com.

President of the NFF Amaju Pinnick revealed that talks on appointing him as substantive  coach of the Nigerian team stalled due to disagreement on certain clauses in the deal.

OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal the real reason why the Portuguese who was expected to take over from Austine Eguavoen after the Africa Cup of Nations won’t be the coach anymore.

We gathered, the coach was keen on bringing his backroom staff after initial agreeing to work with the ones provided for him by the NFF. He didn’t stop there as unlike sacked former coach Gernot Rohr he wanted the NFF to pick up the bills of his assistants.

Because of that he amended the already agreed deal that was sent to him to sign and return back to the football house. In amending it he demanded for more money to cater for the assistants he is bringing to work with him.

Upon receiving the amended contract draft from Peseiro, the NFF felt uncomfortable in engaging him as he has already started off on the wrong foot by going against what was verbally agreed with him. It’s why he wasn’t in Cameroon as said in the press release that confirmed him as coach of the Nigerian team.

Pinnick has already given his blessings to Peseiro that he can go ahead and get another job as the NFF won’t be appointing him as coach due to the aforementioned issues.

In an interview Pinnick said an agreement wasn’t reached with the coach after the initial approval of his appointment as terms of the deal wasn’t signed and it will stay same.

It means Austine Eguavoen will now take charge of the Super Eagles for their World Cup 2022 playoff game against Ghana in March. An announcement is said to be imminent.
