Former Nigerian international Peterside Idah, has called for the sack of Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro despite leading the team to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nation.
Recall that Nigeria lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast in the final on Sunday.
The ex-international questioned the gaffer’s defensive approach to games which he said is new to the country.

“You know, a lot of people have asked me yesterday, the coach got to the finals,” he said on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
“What do you think? I said, fire him!”
Let me make it a little bit lighter for us, when we were younger, we used to shout ‘aaa, ooo’ while watching Nigeria’s game, what that sound signifies is that our football as a Nation is pass-based.”

Yeah! Paseiro must go! I agreed with Mr Peter. We may not qualify for world cup 2026 if we continue with Paseiro.
All of you in that Nigeria are all stupid including Peterside….. Fools your eguavoen that made u shout ooo and AAA didn’t not even get u close to the finals….pesiero u are hero a big one…. I am sorry for not believing in you at first but I believe with time Nigeria will be great under you..
You are nothing but an Animal in a human skin for that stupid comment! You can continue with Paseiro to train you and your family to play at the world cup.
Mumu!!!
ANother nuisance coming here to say garbage. Believe in him at your own peril. Let him carry his yeye tactics like rorh to another team. This team got this far because of the determination of the boys
Na craze dey your head peterside..me that am calling for him to be given life contract you are there talking rubbish…
Anybody wey touch GENERAL PESEIRO for now we have me to contend with..
The wahala I gave you guys for sacking rohr go be childs…
It’s No longer General Roar, it’s not General Peseiro. This fowl mouthed Monkey Post guy, where do you really stand?
Let us engage another coach. We have good coaches in nigeria. White men are draining our purse. And they come here to up grade their cv. Nigeria has never engaged a known coach why.
This man has nothing to offer , he lacks the technicalities,a bad coach, he doesn’t deserve a contract renewal .
With this man at the helm of affairs we are not going to qualify for world cup.
Amuneke should be drafted ASAP.
God bless you bro. NFF must part away with him, or else, we may not qualify for the world cup.
You Nigerians are highly insatiable…………I am not surprised though because 80% of you all are non achievers in their life.
How on Earth can you describe a coach that got you to final as lacking in Technicalities? Highly rated teams like Morrocco (4th best team in World Cup 2022), Senegal (Defending Champion), Egypt (Most Successful African team in AFCON), Cameroon (2nd most successful team in AFCON), Algeria, Tunisi, Ghana, these teams all crashed out before Q4 match and would’ve been so delighted if they can swap places with Nigeria
Continue your hate game, highly unappreciative Olodos like you all who never know what it means to work hard to grind out results in their life are here dissing successful players like Iwobi, Aina, Zaidu, Pesseiro.
Imagine Omo9ja even wants Amunike to take over SE, with what senior level pedigree ??? Do you guys even know that the 2015 Golden Eaglet team that won with Osimhen were all part of the 2013 team coached by Manu Garba? The bulk of those 2015 team are dropouts from the 2013 camp (except Osimhen and few others) hence they gelled easily into an unbeatable team with Manu Garba’s philosophy .
Although I must say here that I am not impressed with Peseiro’s rigid style of play, because it gives opponent good opportunity to decode you, also he failed in blending the 1st eleven and the bench. But all in all Pesseiro did a starling job and must be well compensated.
Good luck to Super Eagles in future
Sincerely, we dodged a bullet when this man didn’t make it to the NFF presidency.
No wonder he scored only 1 vote in the elections…LMAOoo
First of all, Peserio is currently no longer the coach of SE. His contract ran its course after the final match we played at afcon….how do you sack a man who isn’t your employee Mr Peterside..??
Secondly, if he were still to be contracted to the nff, his contract would have had terms and conditions, one of which was to reach at least the Semis of AFCON. The last time NFF decided to “damn the consequences” of sacking a manager who had met ALL, yes, ALL HIS TARGETS, ably backed by a dullard of a minister, they literally paid for it….and dearly too,and possibly still paying for it now…LMAOoo
So Mr Idah, you’ve not only just showed how ignorant you are, you have also shown how incompetent you would have been if the buck were to stop on your desk.
That is why I always say, being an exinternational does not qualify anyone to automatically handle the reigns of anything else in football outside being a player on the pitch.
Sack peseiro ASAP.
He’s a bad coach and doesn’t deserve a new contract.
Amuneke should be drafted immediately.
Coach made use of his players at his disposal.No creative midfielders.
Coach had two years to find a creative midfielder, or improve the midfield. There is no difference between the midfield Eguavoen was using and that used by Peseiro. It is the same players. The only player Peseiro scouted was Bruno, the others Nwabali and Onyedika were brought in because Nigerians clamored for them. I sincerely believe tiredness played a role in Nigeria’s loss and that’s because Peseiro was using the same players all the time.
Peseiro tweaks around with formations, but he has failed so far to improve the content of the formation. SE needs new blood and the time to introduce them is friendlies instead he just parades the same players.
Idal is stupid can he coach
When people like okocha, kanu,rufai talk they use their brain unlike this uncircumcised idah
This was the same way we sacked troussier and brought in Bora….he was playing 352 instead of 442. It all ended in disgrace. That same troussier is idolized in Japan till date.
It repeated itself with doing away with Rohr only for Eguavoen to take us 40 years backwards with “go and express yourself” football…LMAOoo
We just never learn.
We just do not want to accept that we don’t have the players to execute the kind of Pep Guadiola type of football that balances attack with defence, and hence need to trade one off for the other and be ready to live with its consequences.
Sincerely, we dodged a bullet when this man didn’t make it to the NFF presidency.

So Pastor, you’ve not only just showed how ignorant you are, you have also shown how incompetent you would have been if the buck were to stop on your desk.

Great. But Peseiro does need to go. The future of our football isn’t looking good with him in it. If they did it with Rohr with the deadlines we had then, I see nothing wrong in allowing him to go. We just need a coach that understands our players and play them well. I bet to say that most of what Rohr did was just to play our players in their right positions and the right formation. Look at Osimhen for example, Osimhen didn’t have to run around for balls and waste so much energy as he did during this afcon. Iwobi (who doesn’t throw long passes with accuracy, doesn’t shoot long with accuracy, not good defensively/ box to box but was constantly used as a CM is terrible..
We need a good coach. It doesn’t have to be of pep’s ‘quality’ but someone that does the basic things well.
I hope his contract doesn’t get renewed. I hope so
However, Dr Drey who are the people you think will do well in succeeding Jose? I think there was an Amuneke and Moismane rumour then
Lol, “go and express yourself football “. This one cracked me up. Well we may not have things going our way right now in the country, but Atleast we get mouth for Nigeria. Hahahaha
I support the idea of sacking the Coach with my full chest. Eventhough, i never believe they could even make it out of the group stage going by their lacklustre performance in almost 4 to 5 consecutive matches.
He tried but his best to me is nothing close to spectacular. He’s just average and lucky. Also, we’ve to put into consideration the kind of opposition you meet at AFCON. I know many pple will disagree with me on this but the truth is that most African teams lack the technical ability & tactics to handle team playing defensive game that’s what gave the SE edge and opportunity to get to the final.
The South Africans almost knocked us out until they were 1 man down. This nonsense defensive approach Peseiro adopted at this tournament, if he dare try it in any Top 5 league or lesser leagues in Europe, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Nations Cup or the highest world cup, SE will be beaten black & blue and will be disgraced.
The Coach is responsible for the lacklustre performance of the team. Firstly. He overused all these players because he refused to make use of the Bench reason best known to him. We all see the flashes and bite Ihaenacho brought in the few minutes he was on the pitch. Aina played almost 95% of the total minutes yet he refused to rest him Eventhough we’ve quality replacement that’s as good as Aina himself in OSAYI SAMUEL. ZAIDU was very bad throughout the tournament yet he left Bruno Onyemachi who’s a better player to rot on the bench. B4 u argue about this comparison, i suggest you watch highlight of Bruno in the 3 to 5 matches he played in the qualifiers when Zaidu was injured.
Frank has been the one covering Iwobi ass in that tournament. Eventhough he played well in 1 match. The guy really tried. Though the formation and tactics affected him but he didn’t cover himself in glory with all his wayward passes and often shy away from tackles. Yusuf if given much confidence would have been better to pair Frank as double 4. Then Iwobi can play up as playmaker or rather draft IHAENACHO into that role if Iwobi stil perform below par
Chukwueze has no business in the line up irrespective of the team we’re playing
except the Coach notice the opponent are tired, then he can introduce him since they won’t have the legs to bully him at that point. Maybe then his dribbling skills will be effective to create scoring chances.
Also if the Coach still don’t know now that Simon is not good taking set pieces then he must be crazy. That aspect is killing his game because how can you be a winger and not be able to cross in decent balls to your striker, he plays bad corners & free kicks which we could have take advantage of.
They should rather hire a quality foreign Coach with good records & trophies in his cabinet. Who has that winning mentality and technically sound. Thank God they’ve $4m in the Bank so they have no excuse not hiring a quality Coach now. However if they still want to embezzel the money as they always do, they should leave the Man because i don’t trust any of our Local Coach except Siasia and he’s not an option now since he’s still serving his ban plus he may have lost touch been out for a long time.
Lastly if Peseiro stays, we can say goodbye to world cup tickets unless he start doing the right thing. Zaidu should not near the lineup ever again and he should look for creative midfielders as an upgrade on Iwobi. Also we need ball playing central defenders because our defenders passes from the back was bad. Especially from Ajayi. Other than that those 3 Men really impressed me
All these our ex badminton players would never have common sense, a man that defide all odds and take you to AFCON final should be fired?
Do these people reason at all?
In his first tournament in Africa….
Come on brothers, this man has assemble this boys already and all what we need now is some few legs to be injected into the team.
If a new coach comes now, he’ll start the rebuilding process again.
2025 AFCON qualifiers is around the corner.
WCQ is in June and we’re here fighting.
We should be focusing on how to persuade the likes of OLISEH, CHUKWUEMEKA, UGOCHUKWU & JONES to join the super eagles.
Imagine having at least 2 of these lads in our dieing midfield….. Combine them with ONYEKA & NDIDI….. I pity Morocco 2025 opponent.
We should be planning how to extend invite to some of those U20 boys and groom them for 2026bwc in North America not all this, fire this one… Fire that one….
Enough of this fire fire fire….. If he’s fired, would you come and coach?
Let’s change this attitude biko…. The year is too young for this.
***SHALOM***
HE MUST BE SACK IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HE IS NOT TIATICALY SOUND
This is coming from one of Mr.Flop Amuneke’s antics.
Sack a coach who took us to the finals of the most unpredictable and competitive AFCON and hire Amuneke whose resume is only good for begging to coach a team.
It would be difficult for any coach to equal JP’s achievement under the same circumstances.He was owed several months of salary, the players were being owed, bad medical staffs, and imposition of players.
I strongly believe he has learnt his kessons and found out more about some overhyped players, and undeserving team members.
Although, he could have done better with players invitation for the competitikn and team selectioin for the final,I would still give him his flowers
Majority of those clamoring for his sack are ungrateful fella who are fighting for their failure hero Amuneke to get the national team job.
Retaining JP is a no-brainer.
Paseiro is good manager but not a big game manager. I have doubts if he can outfox Hugo Broos of south Africa in the worldcup qualifiers. Paseiro made elemantary mistakes and did not do the right changes when it mattered in the finals.He has been making the same mistakes in the worldcup qualifiers. In the AFCON finals, Ola Aina should have taken off in the first half for Osayi and a surprise element likewhat Amuneke did in Tunisia 94 introduced. Paseiro likely has stage fright and this will hurt us in the worldcup qualifiers if he is not assisted properly. All these Amuneke and co should take a back seat plus forget Super Eagles. We have “South African Mosimane waiting” or any coach in that level should be hired if we don’t want paseiro. We thought our problem was defence but it turned out to be attack plus midfield in the AFCON. Paseiro failed to merge our good attack with the good defence he created. Look at his games…”he does not know how to manage the midfield and is so rigid with particular players”. He will not get it right in the world cup qualifiers too. I can bet on that. He cannot do more than he knows. I will suggest we get a proper midfield and goalkeepers coach plus a proper match reader to fortify Paseiro if we want him to stay. If we don’t want him, we get a coach better than him. Finally we should start preparing williams troost Ekong as a future coach of Super eagles. He is just another Keshi.
The devil you know is better than the angel you are yet to see.
If we did not learn from sacking GR then this is going to be more bitter than experienced if this JP is not re-employed ASAP.
After Mr. express yourself technical head took us 40 years backwards, did anything happen?
You will learn the hard way if you dont do the right thing.

…I will not support the sacking of Jose Peseiro… continuity is very good. Yes we are all hurt we couldn’t clinch the title but no one gave the team any chance from the onset. In my opinion, Super Eagles overachieved because we clearly saw this same team even with Victor Boniface play two hapless draws against Lesotho and Mozambique & it will be foolhardy to cut him loose and start a new period of building afresh with potential too many changes with a new manager. Cote d’voire wanted it more than us on the day, and it was clear a couple of our players just did not pull enough weight and the moment was too big for them.
…I believe Jose Peseiro is better coach now, especially after the loss, than what he was from the onset of the AFCON. He met his target and I believe he rightly deserves at least a further two years, he understands better how important player rotation is, and we can call on new additions who can add to the quality of our team. Peseiro never wanted to adopt a defensive approach but when players he trusted faltered and couldn’t engineer results, any coach will naturally panic and shit on themselves, Osimhen played from the heart but he was largely responsible for why we switched tactics to a defensive and conservative approach because he just wasn’t clicking.
…We already have a coach who pulled all stops to reach the finals no one gave us a chance in the first place, I believe the coach wanted to play safe and conservative and win, likewise the players, but fatigue set-in, coupled with a handful of players who choose the most important game of the tournament to play badly, Peseiro wanted Chuba Akpom but was prevented from calling him up, I believe if he underrated AFCON as a tournament before now, he knows better that the level is very high, something tells me that if we improve the squad, a thing I know Peseiro will move swiftly to do, we could just nick it in a year’s time in Morocco.
@Jimmyball thank you for this excellent piece and you said it all and nothing more to add.
Starting afresh again is taking several steps backward.
Coach Peseiro knows the team now even better than any local Nja coach.Can anyone tell me the achievement of any of our local coach apart from Legendary Keshi?
Quality players should be added to Peseiro squad and our midfield should gel to connect the arrays of attackers we have to the rain of goals.
It wasn’t his intention to play defensive but we don’t have any creative midfielder at the moment and the coach have no option.
So why sack him? He even has nothing to lose if he is sack because that becomes a breach on the part of NFF and he will still smile to the bank
Ivory coast sacked a coach mid afcon and they won. Take it or leave it, the situation isn’t as tight as it was when Rohr was sacked. Our football will not move forward under Peseiro.
Jimmyball, the lack of trust I had against Peserio prior to AFCON is his love for certain players. Like you wrote, maybe he is now an improved person.
But with the retinue of strikers that we have and are often called up for matches, do you think Peserio would finally have the balls to drop some out so that our midfield would be reinforced?
I still don’t think so. Improving the midfield would mean cutting out from attack and/or defence.
After my criticism I think he should stay. Only foreign coaches can look NFF in the eye and stick to their lists.
Waldrum comes to mind. Amuneke should have been “coaching actively” somewhere. Not yet time for our own.
Peserio should continue and let us see if he “changes and improves” in the friendlies next month whether against Argentina or not, starting with his call up.
The question is would he really have the balls to deliberately rebrand our football by joggling the midfield that has been always thin like forever?
Don’t sack him the man tried, but my problem with the coach was simple he went to a major tournament with one average attacking midfielder, then he allowed himself to be used by some ethics buffoons in glass house by bringing players like Musa, Onyedika, Bruno, chukwueze. I saw the lineup I was screaming, though I’m not a fan of Iwobi, but the Ivorian had superior guns in midfield the boy was powerless and tired. Plus chukwueze and iheanacho killed Aina, with their laziness. For me the revelation of the tournament is Onyeka, Nigeria has never had a player like him before, this guy is like Makele Michael Essien he just needs to calm down and improve in his shooting. The guy was not afraid of anybody, he had a great tournament im proud of him.
@Sunnyb… I agree with you 100%. Onyeka Haa earned his place and was very solid for us… he was often a loan wolf in our midfield had odds stacked against him but overall he was excellent. I can tell you that a lot of the players who did well and have played at this pressure-cooker level, especially with the insane crowd power in that final can actually handle any level of pressure henceforth… scenarios like was just witnessed is what count as experience. Players who did not pull weight (we know them and no need mentioning names) should take the harsh criticisms they received as tough love from their loyal fans who demand more from them… should ho back to their clubs and work on the weaknesses of their games and not go and sulk like a petulant kid who hates rebuke… it comes with the territory… there are players in the Super Eagles still with a high ceiling to improve and they themselves know their games have declined from previous levels it used to be… there are also others, who are clearly not good enough and can’t ever play at a level beyond their natural limits… so yes, let’s improve the squad with vintage injection of better options in key areas and I see us pushing the bounds again in Morocco 2025. I give it to the Ivorians for their resurgence and doggedness coming from the dead… but we pip them early in the tournament on their turf and wholesomely, we Nigerians know had we played that last game to strength and our levels it would have been a different outcome. We just learnt a bitter lesson on how not to play a championship game… we have world cup qualifiers business against SAcoming up soon and we should go get to work.
@SunnyB, please remove Bruno from that list. I’m certain you didn’t watch any of the matches he played in the qualifiers for you to include him on this list. He’s by miles better than Zaidu. He’s a modern day left back who can contribute lot of assist with his beautiful cross into the opponent box. He’s good with the ball on his feet. His passes are accurate and can mark properly. Unlike that Zaidu that plays like a secondary school boy & loose possession anyhow. The way he chest down infront of an opponent against Ivory Coast that leads to a goal is still fresh in memory plus lot of blunders he committed throughout the tournament.
Meanwhile the Coach didn’t even use Bruno throughout the tournament likewise Onyedika so what did you base your assessment on ?
Absolutely. If you understand how football works, then you have to consider that coach Paseiro has to go.
Nigerians should learn one or two things from Ivory Coast in this Afcon.
It is normal that Africans have no respect or believe in their own people. But to the extent that Ivory Coast FA wanted to borrow their former coach Renard to help them carry on in the tournament, but that wasn’t successful.
Since they had other options, they opted for their own, which eventually won the Afcon.
I am delighted that their own won to prove his worth, and now, they value him more than the foreign coach.
We have to let coach Paseiro go. Fellow Nigerians, let’s believe in our own. It is left to Amunike to prove his worth like Ivory Coast coach did.
First, I am begging the Nigeria government to do one thing if they want the best for Super Eagles.
The government has to desolve the current NFF board and get the ex players to be the phase of the new NFF.
Then Amunike and whoever he believed to be his assistants could follow. Otherwise, no Nigerian coach could be successful under the politicians turned to NFF.
Hmm. Mr. Idah is very right to say this. If NFF keeps coach Paseiro, Nigeria may not qualify to the next Afcon and the World Cup shikena. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
It’s only someone with “BOMB” in his/her head would fire Peseiro. A coach that met his target. Honestly, I didn’t give the coach any chance. I thought he’d be bundled out at the group stage but after the first game, and with the amount of chances we created, I knew there was hope. We have afcon and WC qualifiers coming up, but instead of celebrating the team (including the coach) that was on the brinks of lifting the cup in front of a hostile crowd, we are here talking about sacking the coach. To be honest, if the officiating had been fair we would have won. The throwing the ref gave them that eventually led to their 1st goal was clearly ours. Any 50/50 chance went their way, and the ref single-handedly took Osimhen out of the game punishing him for playing his game. I’m super proud of the team. Let’s focus on the qualifiers SA and Rwanda are ahead of us.
Get rid of peseiro and then who will Nigeria get? Nigeria should be lucky they have him. I swear Nigerians think they are bigger than what they really are. Yall should be lucky Peserio even took the job. Yall wanted him gone during the group stage and he made it to the final and yall still want him gone. Useless people
Leave Passeiro alone. If he is sacked, be rest assured that the NFF will go for a mediocre replacement.
Encourage him. Give him a raise. Set fresh targets for him and apply some gentle pressure on him so he can perform better.
Leave the man alone.
@Bomboy Never!! He is not Dynamic cha cha!!!! A coach that cannot utilise his 25 man squad he dropped a hint about that when he insisted on 25 instead of the 27 allowed by CAF. He said, “27 players becomes to hard to manage”, go figure he could only utilise 15 players out of the 25 he took.
90% of his Starting 11 players played 90plus minutes the entire knockouts Starting from round of 16. Which shows his scope in team management is poor..he almost cost Osimhen injury by over playing him go figure in the Finals when Osimhen was tired from like the 60minute of the game he still keeps him on. I said here or social media befire the final if Nigeria loses the final it will be because of our coach. Moreover who goes to a final with the parking the bus as tactic? Even after your semi final opponent exposed that tactic in all honesty the tactic was only supposed to be to navigate the group stage not to be stuck with the entirety of the Tournament.. no… Go figures it is because the coach had no other option because of his poor team selection no Nwakali no Tella no Orban nothing granted he had injuries but no mbano the coach also knows Nwakali is also more equipped at taking free kicks than most on that roster. No man i will much rather lose a final fighting than witness what i watched on Sunday
It looked like juju
Why are you people fighting here, common this boys and coach are millionaires for the millions they will pay them how much will reach you? Poor people you should be talking about nigeria hardship
What did we okay in the tournament to give confidence that the coach is a performer? Even the defence we were praising succumbed to Ivory Coast in the final. What was our statistics in all our games particularly the final game? We were dwarfed in all the departments of the game managing just one shot on target. Did anyone notice that no player could shoot. It was an eyesore of a team. Whether the problem was from player recruitment or tactics or training, we are terribly underperforming and we need a better coach of Nigerian descent with passion for national glory

Nigeria got to finals by luck in retrospect. Pure talent those boys played with no game plan the entire tournament. Just defend and counter.. also who is fine tuning there long range passes if that wS part of his tactic…Nigeria is a big country like SA and some other countries we need winners as a coach not rejects who get out smarted by a player coach who barely has his coaching colours in a Final for that matter??
It looked like juju
You can see from the pattern of Supre Eagles play the whole tournament that the coach does not pay attention to detail i mean our team could not even keep ball or play between the lines common trapping passing long and short range became a problem to them was sad to watch. They go on international cam and go baxk to thier clubs looking like the learnt nothing new only that they are silver medalists albeit by luck.

Sack Peseiro and watch your worldcup hopes go in the toilet. Another coach will start all over again with his preferred players. Most especially a local coach that might be only loyal to his kinsmen.
If the NFF can keep Peseiro let him continue with his job he’s doing with this team. The last time Nigeria reached an AFCON final is over 10 years ago. He had a fantastic tournament with a team no one gives a chance to make it out of the group stage.
The funny thing is that when you ask all these glory hunters to name a suitable replacement. It always fly over their heads to name a substantial replacement Lmao!!!
That’s my point Aphily. Who is going to replace him?
I don’t trust the NFF to bring someone better.
Sacking him may turn out to be a case of jumping from the frying pan to the fire.
If Manchester City reasoned like Nigeria they would not have found a Pep Guardiola after All Mancini should have been given Life time role because he won the league. Mtcheeew!!!. So you want us to be stuck with the kind of crappy lucky football we witnessed in AFCON?….. A coach who has no plan B????.. no dynamism?. Actually quite the contrary If we want to Qualify for World Cup then we must sack Peseiro now and replace him with not just any coach but a good coach it is high time Nigeria stoo with these limited coaches..and get someone who has a history of doing it and the only one that comes to mind is Herve Reynard.
