Amuneke tipped to replace Peseiro After AFCON 2023

Emmanuel Amuneke is in line to replace Jose Peseiro as Super Eagles head coach.

Peseiro has come under intense criticism following the Super Eagles disappointing start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The three-time African champions picked just two points from their opening two games against minnows Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Peseiro will only keep his job if the Super Eagles win the title at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

“The reason Peseiro is still keeping his job is because the NFF is cash strapped at the moment. The Federation is not happy with the performance of the Super Eagles under him,”said the source.
