Nigerian Football Fans Demand Change: Sack Peseiro, Hire Mourinho

The Nigerian football community is calling for the dismissal of Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro and the appointment of the renowned Jose Mourinho.

This comes after a series of disappointing performances by the national team under Peseiro’s leadership.

Nigerian football fans and stakeholders have taken to social media and various platforms to express their dissatisfaction with Peseiro’s coaching style and results.

They argue that the team has not shown any significant improvement since his appointment in 2023.

A prominent Nigerian football stakeholder, who chose to remain anonymous, slammed Peseiro’s appointment as a mistake and called for his immediate removal.

“In Nigeria, Jose Peseiro and the NFF will call it distraction. Dey play. Even fans go abuse journalists to stay away from the team. Dey play,” said a Twitter user.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is under immense pressure to make a change, but a board member, Nse Essien, has stated that they cannot afford to pay off Peseiro.

However, fans remain adamant that a change is necessary, with many suggesting that the legendary Jose Mourinho should be the one to take the reins.

Despite the NFF’s financial constraints, some fans believe that hiring Mourinho would be a game-changer for Nigerian football.

“When we are going to the drawing board after the AFCON, we should may be consider the original Jose to go with it,” said a Twitter user.

The Super Eagles have struggled in recent matches, with the team losing six out of their last fifteen games.

This poor performance has led to a growing sense of urgency among fans and stakeholders, who believe that a change in leadership is the only way to turn things around.

As the pressure mounts on the NFF, it remains to be seen whether they will give in to the demands of the fans and replace Peseiro with Mourinho.

The future of Nigerian football hangs in the balance, and all eyes are on the NFF to make the right decision.
