Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has expressed confidence that he will not be sacked by the Nigeria Football Federation after another disappointing display and defeat at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
The Eagles lost 1-0 to the Wild Dogs of Guinea Bissau on Friday in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers group stage game.
The defeat means that the Eagles, with six points, have lost their spot at the top of Group A to Guinea Bissau, who now have seven points.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Peseiro said he would be surprised if he was sacked because his squad was still in a position to qualify for the tournament.
“I don’t understand why I will be sacked. We are still in the position for qualification for the AFCON. Today (Friday), the players could not score, but I believe in this team, we are much better than this result.
