“I had already decided that after AFCON, I would leave. I put in a lot of effort, but the stress was overwhelming. My family and the players supported me, but I reached a point of exhaustion. Even if we had won, I would have left,” Peseiro told SABC.

Reflecting on his tenure, the former coach of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela described his experience with the Super Eagles as rewarding.

“Nigeria was an incredible job with very talented players. We performed excellently in AFCON, and I believe we were the best team until we lost to Côte d’Ivoire,” Peseiro added.
