In a show of unwavering faith, Victor Osimhen, the young Nigerian football sensation, has expressed his belief that coach Jose Peseiro is more than capable of steering the Super Eagles to victory in the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
Peseiro, whose contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expired at the end of last month, is currently awaiting a decision on his future. A few days into the new month, the Portuguese coach’s fate remains uncertain.
Last month, NFF President Shehu Gusau announced in an interview that the opinions of the public would be sought before determining Peseiro’s fate as the helmsman of the Super Eagles.
Amidst this climate of suspense, Osimhen has spoken out, voicing his support for Peseiro and urging the football authorities to keep faith in the former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach as the leader of the three-time African champions.
“The coach possesses an impressive tactical acumen and exhibits great control over the Super Eagles squad, which is of utmost importance,” Osimhen expressed in an interview with Wazobia FM Radio Lagos.
Osimhen further emphasized that Peseiro possesses a clear vision for the team, stating, “He knows what he wants.”
As a rising star in Nigerian football, Osimhen’s backing of Peseiro carries weight.
With his impressive performances for Napoli in the Italian Serie A and his standout contributions to the national team, Osimhen has emerged as one of Nigeria’s star players. His endorsement of Peseiro signals the belief among the Super Eagles’ ranks that the Portuguese coach is the right man for the job.
As Nigerian football enthusiasts eagerly await the decision on Peseiro’s future, Osimhen’s unwavering support for the coach will undoubtedly play a role in influencing the outcome.
If Peseiro is retained as the coach of the Super Eagles, it will be a testament to the trust placed in his leadership abilities and tactical prowess. However, should a different decision be reached, the football world will watch with equal anticipation to see who will assume the mantle and guide the Nigerian national team to AFCON 2023 glory.
