Former Super Eagle coach, Jose Peseiro has picked Nigeria’s semifinal clash with South Africa at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as the most exciting game of the tournament.
Nigeria was only able to defeat South Africa via penalty shootout, with goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali emerging the hero of the night.
Peseiro’s side were however beaten by Ivory Coast in the final of the competition.
The Portuguese told Sportitalia, “It was the most exciting yes, because it allowed us to play in the AFCON final, but we had a lot of really good moments during our time with the Super Eagles.”
Peseiro resigned from his position as Super Eagles coach last month and is unattached to any side at the moment.
He also provided some wish for any team that would want to show interest in signing him.
“This was the third national team we have coached, after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and I would certainly like to be able to qualify and play with a team in the next World Cup, but every possibility is open because it would be equally exciting to coach a club team with winning objectives.”
