Jose Peseiro has named his dream job and explained why he has remained unemployed months after quitting his role as Super Eagles head coach following AFCON 2023 final loss.
Peseiro was in charge of the Nigerian national team for 22 months and walked away after his contract expired despite efforts from the Nigerian Football Federation to renew it.
The Portuguese manager has yet to take up another job since then, while the Super Eagles have yet to experience stability in management since his departure.

“I honestly don’t see myself coaching another team in Portugal, even though there are projects that I’m excited about. So far, it hasn’t happened. I’ve had offers to return to Portugal once again, but I haven’t. It’s not because I don’t like the country or our football,” he told CNN via Ojogo.
“I coached Sporting, FC Porto, Braga, Vitória… In my head, the only thing left was to coach Benfica, but at the moment, it’s very difficult. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen, but it’s very difficult.”
The 64-year-old had not managed in his native Portugal since 2018 when he had short spells with Sporting Lisbon and Vitoria Guimaraes. He has managed Venezuela and Nigeria since then.
Nigeria has yet to experience managerial stability since his departure—Finidi George resigned after two games while an agreement with Bruno Labbadia failed over tax issues, as noted by BBC Sports.
