The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has not made a decision on the future of Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro.
Peseiro’s contract will expire at the end of next month and there are reports the NFF will not offer the Portuguese a new deal.
The Super Eagles will be in action against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone next month with assistant coach, Salisu Yusuf rumoured to have been put in charge for the game by the NFF.
President of the football house, Ibrahim Gusau has now debunked the claim.
“I don’t know where they got these reports from because I have not mandated anybody to search for a new coach, nor has NFF opened discussions with anyone to replace our current coach.
“To be candid, we have not even at board level taken a decision on Peseiro’s contract not to talk of engaging a new coach,” Gusau told reporters in Abuja.
Peseiro was contracted by the NFF in June 2022.
The Super Eagles have fared poorly under his tutelage and there have been calls for his sack from football fans in Nigeria.
