Former Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has finally opened up on why he left Nigeria despite reaching the final of the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The Portuguese gaffer refused to renew his contract following its expiration after the biennial competition.
” There was too much stress”. ” I had the support of my staff and the best from my players, but it wasn’t enough”.
” I want to win AFCON for the fans, the government, and everyone, but even before the tournament, I had already decided to leave.”
” Even if I had won the trophy, I would have still left”, he told Brila FM.
