The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is considering firing coach Jose Peseiro if they can afford to pay him off for two poor performances in World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria News today reported that the coach has been criticized for the Super Eagles’ slow start to qualification.
Nigeria's qualification for the 2026 World Cup is in serious jeopardy, with only two draws in their first two qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. The NFF is unhappy with the team's situation and is considering compensation. South Africa leads Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with three points, while Nigeria faces a tough trip to Benin.
