The federation noted that “the AFCON is a good avenue for Mr Peseiro to launch a working relationship with Mr. Eguavoen”.

Eguavoen will return to his role as NFF Technical Director after the AFCON.

It is believed the NFF has hired Peseiro, based on a recommendation from fellow Portuguese Jose Mourinho.

NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, already admitted they consulted Mourinho while scouting for Rohr’s replacement.
