Nigeria’s Sports Minister, John Enoh has reportedly held talks with former Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro over a possible return to the team.

Peseiro left the post in February following the expiration of his contract, with reports claiming he was considering offers from Algeria and some other African countries.

 

Peseiro, a Portuguese tactician, led the Super Eagles to second position at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, despite being heavily criticized before the tournament

 

According to Complete Sports Nigeria, the sports minister has established contact with Peseiro’s representatives with both parties open to the idea of the former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela gaffer returning to the post.

”It’s true that the sports minister is in talks with Peseiro over his possible return to the Super Eagles,” a source told the publication

 

“The man is willing to return, let’s just wait and see what will happen at the end of the day.”

The technical committee have reportedly shortlisted three coaches for the job which the sports minister said must be appointed for the Super Eagles in the next two weeks.

The Super Eagles are scheduled to take on the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Squirrels of Benin Republic in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in June.
