Newly hired Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro claims the Black Stars of Ghana qualified for the 2022 World Cup by accident.
According to the Portuguese gaffer, the Super Eagles should have booked qualification ahead of Ghana because of the quality of his team.
Peseiro took over as head coach after interim manager Augustine Eguaveon supervised the World Cup playoffs against Ghana.
“I have a team with players who play in England, Italy, France, Spain, but unfortunately they didn’t beat Ghana to go to the World Cup,” he is quoted as saying by Pulse Nigeria.
“But I think it was an accident, I think Nigeria is better than Ghana,” he added.

Thomas Partey’s goal in Abuja ensured that Ghana qualified via the away goal rule as the four-time African Champions made a return to the global showpiece.
Ghana who made its debut World Cup appearance in Germany, 2006, have been drawn in Group H alongside Porugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
