WED 29 DEC, 2021-theGBJournal- The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Jose Paseiro as the new Super Eagles manager.
The Executive Committee of the NFF said Wednesday in a communique that his appointment followed after careful consideration of a memo presented by Chairman of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee.
‘’The Executive Committee endorsed a proposal for the appointment of Peseiro as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles, following the end to the relationship with Mr Gernot Rohr, NFF said.
Mr Augustine Eguavoen, named the interim Head Coach, however, will lead the Super Eagles to the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon with Mr Peseiro only playing the role of Observer.
‘’It was unanimously agreed that the AFCON is a good avenue for Mr Peseiro to launch a working relationship with Mr Eguavoen, who will revert to his role as Technical Director (hence Mr Peseiro’s immediate boss) after the AFCON.”
The Executive Committee also mandated the Technical and Development Committee as well as the NFF Secretariat to organise a friendly match for the Super Eagles when the team arrives in Garoua for the AFCON 2021, and also to arrange matches for the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons in the upcoming FIFA windows for international friendlies.
Meanwhile, the Committee praised the partners and sponsors of the Nigeria Football Federation for their support and encouragement to the NFF and the various National Teams in the year 2021, while calling on more corporate bodies and organizations to partner with Nigeria Football in order to fast-track the attainment of financial autonomy for the Federation and guarantee even more rapid development of the Nigerian game
