Peseiro speaks on getting sacked after Nigeria’s 1-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau

Nigeria coach, Jose Peseiro, has said he would be shocked if the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, decides to sack him following a 1-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau.

The Super Eagles lost in front of their fans in Abuja on Friday, thanks to a first-half goal from Mama Balde.

The win took the Djurtus to top of Group A with seven points, while Peseiro’s men dropped to second.

When asked if he will be surprised if he’s fired following the loss to Guinea-Bissau, Peseiro replied: “I would be surprised if I’m sacked now.

“In today’s game in the first 30 minutes, we created chances, but the likes of Osimhen, Chukwueze and Ndidi could not score.

“But I believe my team played better than the results reflect, so for me, it’s a joke to talk about sacking me.”
