Jose Peseiro insists he has no intention of returning to his job with Nigeria, stating that the chapter is closed.

Peseiro left his role few weeks after leading the team to the final of 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

The departure stems from a failure to reach a contractual agreement with the Nigerian Football Federation, despite efforts to extend his tenure, with the federation advocating for his continuation until after the 2026 World Cup.

When questioned about the possibility of reconsidering his decision, Peseiro reiterated his stance, affirming that his involvement with the Super Eagles has concluded.

“As I said, my work with the Super Eagles is over,” He told Sportitalia. “It was gratifying to coach players of such quality, with my staff we managed to do well in this sense, but the time has come to move on to another project.”

Over a span of two years at the helm of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro oversaw a total of 22matches, resulting in 11 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses.
