Peseiro led the team to second position at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
“I want to thank all Nigerians and the entire press for the interest, support, and encouragement given to the Super Eagles while I was their coach. I would like to ask all of you to always support your players. These athletes give their all for the Super Eagles, taking pride in representing their country. The players make sacrifices to bring you joy,” Peseiro wrote on his X handle.
“The Super Eagles deserve all your support, which will be very important for the great challenges that lie ahead.”
The NFF has named Austin Eguavoen has interim coach as they search for the Peseiro’s replacement.
