Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, touched down in South Africa on Friday with a specific mission: scouting Chippa United’s goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabili. Peseiro’s quest for a reliable shot-stopper stems from the recent struggles of the team’s current first-choice goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, a concern he aims to address ahead of the upcoming AFCON.
Eager to witness Nwabili in action, Peseiro will be seated in the stands as Chippa United faces off against Golden Arrows in an upcoming league fixture on Saturday. Ahead of the game, Chippa United expressed their excitement in hosting the esteemed Portuguese coach, hailing his presence as a source of inspiration for the team.
“Nwabili has been in fantastic form for Chippa United this season, securing seven clean sheets in 15 games for the Chilli Boys,” a testament to the goalkeeper’s prowess that has captured the attention of the Super Eagles’ head honcho.
As Peseiro strategically studies Nwabili’s performance, the footballing world eagerly anticipates the impact of the Super Eagles’ potential new recruit, acknowledging the critical role that a proficient goalkeeper plays in shaping a team’s success on the international stage.
