The NFF made one of its worst decisions ever when they appointed Portuguese strategist Jose Peseiro as coach, according to former Gombe United chairman Ahmed Gara-Gombe.
Later this month, Nigeria will compete against 23 other African countries in Ivory with the goal of winning a fourth African title.
Under the late Stephen Keshi’s coaching, the Super Eagles last won the African championship in 2013.
But a lot has happened since then, and Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo are the only members of the team that are still alive.
Peseiro will try to relive these moments, but due of his past, many supporters and football analysts do not think highly of him. Even while playing against some of the tiniest teams in Africa, the former Braga manager has had difficulty winning games.
Gara-Gombe stated before to the Africa Cup of Nations that he did not think the coach was the reason Nigeria was performing well.
First and foremost, one of the worst decisions we have ever made in our football history was to sign Peseiro to the Super Eagles. What is the result since he took over?
Channels TV was told by Gara Gombe. We struggled to win games because Nigeria lacked a pattern or style of play. Let’s continue attempting our cut-and-paste and stumble-and-fumble tactics.
After the AFCON, Jose Peseiro’s contract will end, and if Nigeria performs poorly, he probably won’t be retained.
