Jose Peseiro’s contract as the Super Eagles coach has expired following the conclusion of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 in Ivory Coast.
According to OwnGoalNigeria.com, the option of a two-year-old deal after meeting the semi-final target is up to Peseiro to decide on.
The Portuguese tactician led Nigeria to the AFCON final where the Super Eagles lost to the Elephant of Cote Divoire, the host nation.
Peseiro is, however, expected to meet with the minister of youths and sports, Senator John Enoh to decide his future with the national team.
The Super Eagles are expected to return to action in March for the qualifiers of the AFCON 2025 in Morocco.
As reported by Vanguard, Peseiro signed a contract extension to continue as Super Eagles coach in September 2023 after his initial one-year contract ran out in July.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) reportedly reduced the $70,000 a month salary to $50,000 after the NFF said they could no longer afford his previous salary.
ANN earlier reported that Peseiro admitted that Ivory Coast were the better side in the 2023 AFCON final played in Abidjan.
