Sheriff Inuwa Ahlan, Chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has stated that the fate of Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, lies in the hands of the Federal Government.
Reports indicate that Peseiro's contract is set to expire at the end of the month. Despite the Super Eagles' impressive performance at the recently concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire, there have been calls for his contract not to be renewed.
Addressing Peseiro's contract situation, Inuwa mentioned that the NFF board would convene next week to assess Nigeria's performance at the AFCON and provide recommendations to the supervising Sports Ministry, led by John Enoh.
"Peseiro is a national project, not only an NFF project. Our role is to recommend and submit our findings to the Sports Ministry. Whatever decision is made, we are obligated to implement it," Inuwa stated in an interview with Prompt News.
He further emphasized the positive working relationship between the Federation and the Sports Ministry, highlighting the importance of respecting the Minister's decisions and advice. Inuwa noted, "He is our father, and we must consult him in all our policies for proper guidance."
