Former Super Eagles left-back, Taye Taiwo, has expressed disappointment over the departure of Jose Peseiro, saying the Portuguese coach should have been retained to lead Nigeria through the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Peseiro stepped down after guiding the Super Eagles to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON, where Nigeria lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast. Although the 65-year-old coach admitted he was emotionally and physically drained, he also hinted at a desire to stay on and win silverware with the squad.
