“We’ll do great things under Peseiro” – Super Eagles star hails coach’s methods

Super Eagles goalkeeper has said the team is going to excel under new coach Jose Peseiro

Francis Uzoho has said Nigeria is set to have a period of excellence under new coach.

The Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper said the new national team coach has given players great freedom to express themselves and that will help their confidence moving forward.

“We are enjoying freedom to express ourselves, to believe in ourselves and the coach brings a lot of confidence to the team. I think with him we are going to do great things,” Uzoho told ESPN.

Uzoho was in good spirits as Peseiro began his Super Eagles coaching career. He made a string of fine saves to keep the Super Eagles on a respectable level in both Grade A friendlies.

Peseiro is putting the player through their paces in Abuja as the Super Eagles prepare for the 2023 AFCON qualifiers against Sierra Leone and São Tomé and Principé.

Nigeria will face Sierra Leone on the 9th of June before travelling to São Tomé to face the island nation on the 13th of June.
