Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has handed Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro a three-day ultimatum to accept a pay cut and renew his contract.

According to the NFF technical committee, Peseiro will quit his job if he fails to decide within three days.

Chairman of the technical committee, Sheriff Rabiu Inuwa, revealed that the NFF will appoint a caretaker coach to take charge of the Super Eagles’ 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe in September and then begin the search for a substantive head coach afterwards if Peseiro refused to accept a pay cut and renew his contract.

The previous contract expired at the end of last month and he has expressed his desire to take the Super Eagles to the 2023 AFCON finals in Cote d’Ivoire. 

However, the former Venezuela and Saudi Arabia coach is not willing to accept a reduction on his $70,000 salary. 

Peseiro became the coach of the Super Eagles in May 2022.
