Portuguese manager José Peseiro is currently engaged in discussions with the Algerian Football Federation following the expiration of his contract with the Nigerian Football Federation, as reported by Soccernet.ng.
Despite achieving the target set by the NFF to reach the semi-finals, reports indicate that Peseiro has opted not to renew his contract with the Super Eagles, despite guiding them to the runners-up position in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Speculation surrounds Peseiro’s potential agreement with the FAF to lead the Algerian national team, indicating his imminent departure from the Super Eagles. However, Algerian media outlet El Hayat suggests that Peseiro is awaiting the final contract from the FAF before making a decision.
Simultaneously, negotiations are ongoing with Swiss professional football manager Vladimir Petković, who is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to manage Algeria. However, complications have arisen regarding certain clauses in Petkovic’s contract, prompting discussions to resolve the issues.
With rumors of multiple offers on the table for Peseiro, including the opportunity to take over the Algerian national team, the NFF may expedite their decision-making process amidst the uncertainty surrounding the managerial position.
