The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF has opened a fresh negotiation with Coach Jose Peseiro over a new contractual relationship.
This comes after Peseiro’s initial contract ended in July which the NFF said, they are discussing with him and his lawyers.
President of the NFF Ibrahim Gusau gave this disclosure on Wednesday.
Peseiro had been on a one-year contract. Gusau said talks were held up because of the delay in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, on which the contract was based.
The competition will be held in January and February. Peseiro has led Nigeria to qualification with a game to spare.
“We hope to conclude very soon and a decision will be made based on the recommendations of the technical committee,” said Gusau.
The Super Eagles round out their qualifying campaign on September 10 at home in Uyo against Sao Tome and Principe.
