The contract of Peseiro ended at the of the competition and it’s not certain if it will be renewed by the Nigeria Football Federation.
Yes. I think the players are happy with him. Reaching the final is something important and also something we can build on,” he told CNN World Sports.
The African vice-champion adds. “However, what he had in mind, I tried to ask him before we left and he told me he would call me back. I think I’m as much in the dark as you are, but I think all the players would be happy to see him again”, he added.
