Joe Peseiro has quit as the coach of the Super Eagles following the expiration of his contract with the Nigerian Football Federation.
Peseiro who led the Super Eagles to clinch silver at the recently concluded African Cup of Nations that held in Ivory Coast, has received many contract offers from different countries and clubs.
It was hoped that the Portuguese tactician would accept an offer of contract renewal from the NFF but he announced on his Facebook page that his time with the Super Eagles had come to an end.
Peseiro wrote: “Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF. It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.
“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you”.
