The NFF have said Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has a contract till after the 2023 AFCON to be hosted by Cote d’Ivoire in January.
Pesiero’s initial contract ran out at the end of last month, but he remains at the post because the agreement was tied to the 2023 AFCON, which has been delayed till next year.
NFF general secretary Mohammed Sanusi said it will only be after the AFCON that the football federation will decide on the future of the Portuguese coach.
“Honestly the leadership of the football house has not held any meeting with Peseiro over his contract or extension. For now the Eagles coach has a valid contract till Nations Cup,” Sanusi told PromptNews
The top official further disclosed that it will only be after the tournament in January 2024 that a decision on the coach will be taken.
“His performance would also be assessed after the Nations Cup before opening a fresh discussion with him,” he said.
“Our focus now is to prepare the team for a super outing in Cote d’Ivoire.”
