Peseiro Reveals NFF Has Not Spoken to Him Concerning His Return to Super Eagles
Jose Peseiro has stated that no one has gotten in touch with him regarding taking over as the Super Eagles’ head coach once more.
This was said by the Portuguese coach in a Soccernet interview.
After his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation, or NFF, expired in February, Peseiro resigned from the position.
The NFF then declared that the position was vacant, and several applicants, including Michael Nsien and Emmanuel Amunike, were connected to the position.
The final shortlist included three European coaches: Toni Conceicao, Domenec Torrent, and Danny Bujis.
There were rumors circulating during all of this that Peseiro might be invited to rejoin the team.
The 63-year-old may be in talks with the Ministry of Sports, according to rumors.
Peseiro, however, has refuted the rumors, claiming that he has not received any communication from the Ministry or the NFF.
He claims that he is now taking advantage of his vacation and watching matches, particularly those that Real Madrid will soon be playing.
Joshua Zirkzee, the standout striker for Bologna, is a target for Inter Milan Vice-President Javier Zanetti’s team, and Arsenal may face competition from the Serie A winners for his services during the summer transfer window.
With 11 goals and four assists this season, Zirkzee has been one of Bologna’s best players, aiding his team’s quest for Champions League qualifying.
Bologna is rumored to be asking a hefty €60 million [£51.3 million] for the young forward, who signed a contract with Bayern Munich in August 2022 for €8.5 million [£7.1 million].

The 22-year-old was praised by Zanetti as “a young, talented, intelligent, physically very strong player” and believes that he could be a valuable addition to a team looking to achieve great things.
When asked about a potential move for Zirkzee, Zanetti told Radio TV Serie A: ‘”Zirkzee is a great champion.
“We are talking about a young, talented, intelligent, physically very strong player.
“Someone like that would be useful to any great team aiming for important goals.
“Let’s see… if the opportunity arises we can think about it.
“With Zirkzee, Lautaro [Martinez] and [Marcus] Thuram we would have a young and strong attack. They would give us peace of mind.”
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has disclosed that he had hoped to sign Harry Kane for the team last summer, but Rasmus Hojlund was signed instead.
Hojlund left Atalanta for United in a £72 million transaction, while Kane paid £100 million to move from Tottenham to Bayern Munich.
Hojlund has made 26 league appearances in his first season at Old Trafford, scoring eight goals, while Kane has scored 35 goals in 31 Bundesliga outings for Bayern.

“We have had some choices made with talents like Rasmus Hojlund.
“I can see a striker who already proved it, who we want to sign and we couldn’t get him. And then we went to Rasmus because he’s a talent,” Ten Hag said during an interview with Gary Neville for Sky Sports.
When questioned directly if he was referring to Kane, Ten Hag said, “Yes, and you know Harry Kane will get you 30 goals.”
“I think Rasmus will get there, but he needs time. It’s not fair to assess him the same as Harry Kane. I would never compare two players because they are very different.”
As he reflected on his difficult past, Victor Boniface emerged as a great figure in ending Bayer Leverkusen’s 120-year title drought and creating a new norm.
Victor Boniface achieved a historic feat this past Sunday, recording a thrilling 5-0 victory over Werder. His vital penalty kick set off a chain reaction of goals that resulted in Bayer Leverkusen’s first league title in one hundred and sixty years.
Following his triumphant comeback and recovery, the Super Eagles striker shared a moving old snapshot to bring attention back to his lowly beginnings.

In the widely shared photo, a youthful Boniface is seen wearing ill-fitting clothes and mismatched, huge footwear. His unflinching resolve is evident, despite his situation.
With the picture came an appeal from Boniface to dreamers to never give up on their goals. His message, which is straightforward but profound, speaks to people who are paving their own routes to success.
This is what his caption says:
“If you like give up”
Victor Boniface has been a successful player for Bayer Leverkusen this season, scoring an amazing eighteen goals thus far. His story is a tribute to resiliency, tenacity, and the strength of unyielding resolve.
