The Coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, has offered reasons why the Nigeria Football Federation cannot sack him after his team’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Lesotho in the 2026 World Cup qualifier opener in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
The Coach offered the reasons in a post-match conference after the 1-1 draw with the Crocodiles of Lesotho.
While Motlomelo Mkhwanazi of Lesotho netted the first goal of the match, Nigeria’s Semi Ajayi rescued a point for Nigeria in the 67th minute with a brilliant header.
Reacting to a question on why the NFF should not sack him for failing to secure a win with the Super Eagles in the World Cup qualifier, Peseior said: “Why should I be sacked?
“Let me explain the performance.
“We created many opportunities to score.
“Our opponent only had two shots and scored from one of them.
