The Nigeria Football Federation has announced vacancies for the position of the head coach of the senior national team after a dead talk in extending the contract of Jose Peseiro, the former coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Peseiro’s contract ended last week, and there was no agreement to extend the contract before its expiration. Both parties failed to reach an agreement on the wage the former Super Eagles coach would earn.

Recall that Peseiro led the Super Eagles to the final of the just concluded African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023, where Nigeria’s national team got to the final of the competition before being beaten by the host Cote d’Ivoire.
It was learnt that an improved offer was sent to Peseiro’s representatives. Still, the former Super Eagles coach was demanding $120 thousand as pay against the NFF’s $50 thousand monthly pay was deemed insufficient and contrary to the last offer of $80 thousand, the last pay that the coach considered good enough.
But on Friday morning, March 8, the NFF declared job vacancies for the position of the national team coach, calling on interested applicants to lead the Super Eagles in their next campaign.
Simultaneously, the NFF also announced a vacancy for the Under 17 coaching job position, which Nduka Ugbade last headed.
