The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has extended the contract of Jose Peseiro as Super Eagles head coach.
NFF’s spokesperson, Ademola Olajire, disclosed in a statement on Sunday that the NFF and the Portuguese coach reached an agreement for him to continue as the gaffer of the Super Eagles ahead of the 34th AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.
Peseiro had steered the Super Eagles through the qualifiers and to an AFCON ticket with a match to spare.
Olajire explained that Peseiro had agreed a pay cut on his earlier terms, with the new agreement also putting him in charge of the Super Eagles B (home-based), who contest in the biennial African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles coach has invited 23 players for the clash against Sao Tome and Principe in the final match of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers slated for Uyo on September 10.
