Nigerians grow more discontent over retention of Peseiro as Super Eagles coach

Posted : 21 November 2023
Some football stakeholders have expressed dissatisfaction with the Super Eagles' 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match played on Sunday.

In an exclusive interview, some football stakeholders admitted that the Eagles and the coaches have lost focus and are taking football lovers in Nigeria for granted.

Anistar Izuikem, General Manager, and Chief Executive Officer of Star Plus FC, stated that Coach Jose Pesiero has no game plans for the Eagles.

“Pesiero is taking the fans for granted by inviting below-par players and sticking with Francis Uzoho, who is not performing well at the moment.

“Must Uzoho leak goals in every match he plays for Nigeria? What happens if he keeps a clean sheet?” Izuikem asked.

Izuikem suggested that the coach should have given a homegrown goalkeeper a chance against Lesotho to prove their worth, guiding him into the game against Zimbabwe.

He recalled how well Ikechukwu Ezenwa performed against teams like Cameroon and Algeria in one of the qualifying matches.

Coach Okechukwu Nnamani, General Manager of Coal City Babes, blamed the coach for the Super Eagles' woeful performances in the two qualifying matches.

Nnamani said that the coach has failed to understand his team, as he did not have a first team, let alone a second eleven.

He expressed fear that Nigeria may not secure a ticket to the 2026 World Cup if the Super Eagles continue in the same direction.

“This is the worst match that I have ever watched in Nigeria's colors. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) needs to do something to change the scenario,” he said.

Austine Ezenwata, the Chief Executive Officer of the amateur club Lions FC of Abakpa, who also called for Peseiro's head, said he is out of ideas for the Eagles.

“We have good and talented players, but our problem is the coach because he does not know what to do with the players,” he said.
