Pay Me, Don’t Teach Me My Job – Peseiro Talks Tough To NFF (HOW IT HAPPENED)
The coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, reportedly responded to the Nigeria Football Federation Technical Committee’s comments by urging them not to instruct him in his duties but rather fulfill the payment of outstanding allowances for him and his team, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.
This exchange allegedly took place after the NFF Technical Committee Chairman, Shariff Ahlan, expressed concerns about Peseiro’s future as the Eagles’ coach, emphasizing that the role is more significant than the Portuguese coach.
The conversation occurred during a meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, in October, where Ahlan suggested that the team’s struggles were attributed to Peseiro’s perceived technical shortcomings
“You’re busy to pay me my allowances but not busy to tell me what I will do,” Peseiro replied Ahlan when he was told that he would defend his squad list for subsequent games.
Despite successfully leading Nigeria to qualification for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, Peseiro’s team, which lacks inspiration, is currently behind Rwanda and South Africa in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. This follows two 1-1 draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
In his 15 games at the helm of the Eagles, Peseiro has secured victory in six matches and suffered defeat in six, with the three-time African champions scoring 31 goals—10 of which came in a single game against Sao Tome and Principe—while conceding 21 goals.
“Henceforth, if I remain in the technical committee, if he submits a professional list he would come and justify the list in front of the committee explaining why he invited each player based on their statistics and club performance.
“From our side, we’ve said Peseiro can’t do the job, if you look at how he runs the affairs of the team it seems the Nigeria national team is bigger than him honestly.”
He said, “I am happy to report that I had a meeting with the NFF president, secretary and the Technical Department of NFF regarding the Super Eagles.
“What we came out of that is that I’ve had to request that the coach (Peseiro) be summoned and I think at some point next week there’s going to be an engagement with him.
“All of that is trying to respond to the outcome of these matches, especially the World Cup qualifying games.

“As a minister, I am concerned that the Nigeria national team is not delivering, not meeting up with our expectations. The Africa Cup of Nations is so close that we need to be careful in what decisions we make but the next qualification rounds for the World Cup, the next match is in June, so it gives us more time to take decisions going forward.
“AFCON is going to start January 13, are we going to request to fire the coach (Peseiro), I mean the answer is as good as mine.
“I have found out that in this sector, there are passions and emotions. Where you are seated and where I am providing leadership, you don’t respond, you know you are not driven by passions and emotions.”
