Emerging reports have revealed that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has opened discussion with Portuguese Coach, Jose Peseiro, over possible new contract agreement.
This was disclosed on Thursday by sources close to the Secretariat of NFF in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
According to the source, NFF is only willing to re-engage the out-of-contract Coach if he will still agree to previous $50,000 per month pay.
Peseiro previously earned €70,000 monthly but agreed a pay cut to lead the Super Eagles to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 63-year-old’s last contract ended at the end of the AFCON 2023 finals.

Peseiro has been linked to several coaching jobs since the end of the AFCON.
The Algeria Football Federation are said to have strong interest in him.
The Portuguese revealed earlier this week that he has received at least seven offers from different national teams and clubs.
