Peseiro pledges to make Super Eagles great again

Newly appointed Nigeria head coach, Jose Peseiro is determined to make his reign with the Super Eagles a successful one, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Super Eagles were eliminated in the Round of 16 at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon despite winning all three group games.

The West Africans also failed to secure a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, losing by an away goal to eternal rivals, Black Stars of Ghana.

Peseiro’s immediate task will be to qualify the Super Eagles for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

‘Pride! It is with great pride and joy that I am the coach of one of the greatest football nations in the world.

Commanding the Super Eagles starts with knowing how to respect the history, value it and be inspired by its roots,” Peseiro wrote on his Twitter handle.

Peseiro’s first competitive game in charge of the Super Eagles will be the 2023 AFCON qualifier against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Thursday, June 9.

Before then, former Venezuela and Saudi Arabia gaffer will oversee the international friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador.
