This was disclosed in a communique issued on Wednesday
evening after a virtual NFF executive committee meeting presided over its
president, Amaju Pinnick.
However, according to the communique, the interim head
coach, Ausgustine Eguavoen, will lead the Super Eagles to the 2021 Africa Cup
of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon with Mr Peseiro playing the role of observer to
the team.
“After careful consideration of a memo presented by chairman
of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee, the Executive Committee endorsed
a proposal for the appointment of Mr Jose Peseiro as the new Head Coach of the
Super Eagles, following the end to the relationship with Mr Gernot Rohr.
“However, the committee resolved that Mr Augustine Eguavoen,
named the interim Head Coach, will lead the Super Eagles to the AFCON 2021 in
Cameroon with Mr Peseiro only playing the role of Observer.
“It was unanimously agreed that the AFCON is a good avenue
for Mr Peseiro to launch a working relationship with Mr Eguavoen, who will
revert to his role as Technical Director (hence Mr Peseiro’s immediate boss)
after the AFCON.
“The Executive Committee mandated the Technical and
Development Committee as well as the NFF Secretariat to organise a friendly
match for the Super Eagles when the team arrives in Garoua for the AFCON 2021,
and also to arrange matches for the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons in
upcoming FIFA windows for international friendlies,” the communique read in
part.
The Committee also approved the financial statement of the
Federation for the year 2021, as well as the proposed budget of the sum of
N13,089,022,180.00 for the year 2022.
