The sports ministry has approved the appointment of Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro after earlier questioning the move by the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
NFF’s decision to pick the Portuguese from the list containing names such as Frenchman Laurent Blanc, former Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde and erstwhile Netherlands defender, Philip Cocu had earlier been questioned by the Sunday Dare-led Sports Ministry.
But according to Complete Sports, the sports ministry has now bowed to the NFF decision and has approved Peseiro’s appointment as Super Eagles’ next substantive technical adviser following the sack of Gernot Rohr after talks with the Football body.
Details of Peseiro’s contract, including paperwork, are almost done and an announcement is expected to be made soon.
The 62-year-old was first announced by the NFF to take over the Super Eagles after the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Peseiro eventually did not take up the job after Augustine Eguavoen’s temporary appointment was extended to cover the ill-fated 2022 World Cup playoffs against the Black Stars of Ghana
His last managerial job was with the Venezuelan national team. He also managed the Egyptian club Al Ahly, being his only managerial experience in Africa.
