Nigeria’s head coach, Jose Peseiro is keeping mum on the selection of his first choice goalkeeper, after newly invited Stanley Nwabili conceded two goals in the international friendly against Guinea.
In the only competitive friendly match before the team heads out for the Africa Cup of Nations, Peseiro named Nwabili ahead of Francis Uzoho and Ojo Olorunleke, fueling speculations that the 27 year-old could be primed to become the new number One.
However, in his post game remark the Portuguese assured that nobody – but him – knows who will be handed the spot.
“Today, Stanley (Nwabili) played, I don’t think it guarantees that he’s our first choice,” Peseiro told the Super Eagles official media page.
“Against Equatorial Guinea, we will see, I already know, but everyone will see then.”
