Jose Peseiro, former coach of the Nigerian national team, is under growing pressure at Egyptian club Zamalek SC following a shock defeat to South Africa’s Stellenbosch FC.
The Portuguese tactician took charge of the Cairo-based side only a few months ago, but the team’s inconsistent performances have continued under his leadership.
After showing promise in the group stage and the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinals, Zamalek crashed out of the tournament with a 1-0 home loss in the return leg, resulting in a 1-0 aggregate defeat.
Frustrated fans have begun calling for his dismissal, and the club’s board is expected to meet before the weekend to decide his fate.
