Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to retain Jose Peseiro as the senior national team coach.

Recall that Peseiro led Nigeria to the final of the final of the just concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nation, where the team lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast.

However, in an interview with CNN World Sports Amanda Davies, the Nigerian international noted that Peseiro should be given the chance to continue the good work with the Super Eagles.

“Yes. I think the players are happy with him. Reaching the final is something significant and also something we can build on,” Troost-Ekong said in an exclusive interview with CNN World Sports Amanda Davies.

“However, on what he had in mind, I did try to ask him before we left and he said he’s going to call me back. I think I’m just as much in the dark as you guys are but I think all the players would be happy to see him back.”
