Gosepl Singer, Timi Dakolo has told the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro can’t qualify the team to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The NFF had the opportunity to kick him out, yet they renewed his contract. I really can’t fathom why a country like Nigeria would renew the contract of such a poor quality coach who was chased out in South America for poor results.
Someone who couldn’t defeat Losotho with fantastic players we have is talking about winning the AFCON.
NFF CANNOT SACK HIM DUE TO MONETARY CORRUPTION INVOLVED
True talk bro!
Exactly! How is he gonna win the Afcon?
Everything about this country Nigeria is cursed
Watching Ghana vs Madagascar with keen interest, guys give it to Madagascar, they playing some eye catching soccer so far and Ghana with Hughton who have previously coached Tottenham, Republic of Ireland, Newcastle, Norwich, Birmingham city, Nottingham forest and BHA are freaking struggling, I think we shd give peseiro some slack, africa soccer have really evolve, I hope and believe the SE redeem themself by Sunday.
Ghana changed their formation in the second half and u saw what we did!! Chris is also struggling too! African football has changed bro
There’s one thing I realised about playing the so-called minows of African football; you have to take the game to them or you will be disgraced. Madagascar played very well and almost snatched a draw or victory. It took a lot of persistence from ghana to win. If there’s one thing you cannot fault the black stars for, it’s their fighting spirit and determination to beat a well-drilled team. The Madagascar coach was very gutted at the end of the game. This shows that they came into the game with the believe that they can cause an upset. All so called big teams in Africa should watch out.
Yes u have to KEEP ON PRESEING them becasue their strongest pursuit is to PRESSED u in numbers till the game is all over!!
Not only that, u should have a CREATIVE ATTACKING MIDFIELDER in your midfield to carved them open and this is how Ghana was able to open them up finally when we introduced MADJIED! U can never scored a MINNOW African team with COMBATIVE MIDFIELDERS who are also defensive!
If Nigerian want to beat ZIMBABWE, they should fix a CREATIVE ATTACKING MIDFIELDER and it ll be easy!!
When Ghana introduced one, it became easier for us!!
Very interesting and an end to end game from the start, yea hughton experince as a seasoned coach finally paid off and the never say die attitude of the black stars finally bear fruit. But I feel a draw would have still be consider a good result for both teams.
He said he wil win afcon . Afcon is January no bi so .. thanks god his contract was on the line by February.. let just pray for 3 point against Zimbabwe. So that by the next Coach wil stil have something to fight for. And if he eventually won afcon den his contract goes on with eagles. So for now fast and pray not for him but for a win again Zimbabwe.
Ghanaian coach knew exactly what he was doing. At least, they have 3 points now unlikely this clueless man we have as a coach who can’t read a game properly. Nigeria as a country would never forgive the NFF if we fail to qualify to the World Cup again.
Ignore the typo errors
SACK THIS COACH NOW. SINCE HE HAS TAKEN OVER THE TEAM, HE HAS NOT REALLY CONVINCE ME OF HIS TECHNICAL KNOW HOW.
WITH THIS COACH, I BET NIGERIA IN GOING NO WHERE, NATION CUP WILL BE A DISASTER.
