Jose Peseiro has praised the Nigerian national team despite their second round exit for the 2021 AFCON.
Peseiro who would take charge of the team for the world cup play off against Ghana was pleased with their output as he believes they did well.
“The Africa Cup of Nations is a very strong competition between strong teams, including Nigeria, who were the best in the group stage, but after all, the four strongest teams throughout the tournament have reached the semi-finals,” the 61-year-old told Kingfut.
“Egypt didn’t do well against Nigeria, but after that, they showed their true abilities, their players gave a great performance against Morocco, they have what it takes to win the tournament.” He added.
Peseiro was appointed as head coach of the Super Eagles a two months ago but Covid issues made Augustin Eguaveon to take charge for the AFCON.
