Jose Peseiro has confirmed he is no longer the head coach of the Super Eagles.
The Portuguese tactician revealed this in a terse post on social media app, X, on Friday.
Peseiro stated that he will not be renewing his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) which elapsed on February 29.
“Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF.
“It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.
“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you,” Peseiro wrote.
Peseiro led Nigeria to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) where they lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast.
