Nigeria Football Federation have confirmed Jose Peseiro as the new Super Eagles coach following Gernot Rohr’s exit.
The NFF announced Peseiro’s after a virtual meeting of the Executive Committee.
The 61-year-old previously worked at Panathinaikos, Real Madrid, Sporting CP, Al Ahly, Braga and most recently as Venezuela national team coach – a role he left in August over unpaid salary.
Peseiro will be with the Super Eagles in Cameroon but in an observer role with technical director Austin Eguavoen charged to lead the three-time African champions.
The Portuguese manager will immediately assume his new duty after the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria aiming to qualify for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
