The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) has initiated negotiations with Jose Peseiro over a new contract as national coach.
The NFF President, Ibrahim Gusaa disclosed this on Wednesday.
National Periscope recalls that Peseiro has been on a one-year contract with Nigeria.
“His contract ended in July and we’re now talking to him and his lawyers,” Gusau said
He added that talks were held up because of the delay in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, on which the contract was based.
The competition will be held in January and February. Peseiro has led Nigeria to qualification with a game to spare.
Sources also revealed that the NFF wants Peseiro to accept a huge cut on his monthly $70,000 salary in a new contract that will run at least until the end of the competition in Ivory Coast.
