Jose Peseiro, the current head coach of the Nigerian national football team, has refuted claims linking him to the coaching position at Egyptian club, Zamalek SC.
Recent reports alleged that the 63-year-old coach had submitted his credentials to Zamalek SC for the vacant coaching role.
However, Peseiro has unequivocally affirmed that his sole focus remains on his responsibilities with the Super Eagles.
In his own words, he stated, “At present, my complete focus is solely on the Nigerian national team,” during an interview with btolat.com.
He further emphasized, “There have been no discussions with Zamalek whatsoever, and I am not considering any other options.”
It’s worth noting that Peseiro recently extended his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Nevertheless, the coach is under scrutiny due to the Super Eagles’ underwhelming performance at the commencement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
With the team only managing draws in their first two matches against Lesotho and Zimbabwe, there has been mounting pressure for his dismissal.
