Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, has taken a bold stance against the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Committee, emphasizing the importance of receiving outstanding allowances over critiques of his coaching abilities.
The dispute unfolded during a meeting with the NFF Technical Committee Chairman, Shariff Ahlan, in Lisbon, Portugal, where Ahlan questioned Peseiro's technical prowess. Peseiro retorted, "You're busy to pay me my allowances but not busy to tell me what I will do."
Despite guiding Nigeria to the Africa Cup of Nations qualification, Peseiro faces criticism for the team's performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Sports Minister, John Enoh, has summoned Peseiro over the team's poor showing, sparking discussions about the coach's future and the challenges faced by the national team.
