With reports swirling that Peseiro’s contract is set to expire at the end of the month, despite the Super Eagles’ commendable performance in the recent 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire, calls for his renewal have been met with mixed reactions.

Addressing the delicate situation surrounding Peseiro’s contract, Inuwa Ahlan reveals that the NFF board will convene next week to assess Nigeria’s performance at the AFCON and provide recommendations to the supervising Sports Ministry led by John Enoh.

Emphasizing the collaborative nature of the decision-making process, Inuwa asserts, “Peseiro is a national project, not only an NFF project. Our duty is to recommend and forward to the Sports Ministry, and whatever decision is taken, our duty is to implement.”

He further underscores the importance of respecting the guidance and counsel of the Sports Ministry, acknowledging Minister Enoh’s pivotal role in shaping the future of Nigerian football. Inuwa emphasizes, “He is our father; we must consult him in any of our policies for proper guidance.”

As the football community eagerly awaits the outcome of these deliberations, the impending decision by the Federal Government holds significant implications for the trajectory of Nigerian football and the tenure of Coach Peseiro.
