“You just need to bring the boys together to tell them how important AFCON is to Nigerians, especially. So the coach needs to do a lot of work with the selection also; they should know who’s ready for the Nations Cup,” he emphasized.

As the Super Eagles gear up for the tournament, fans and football enthusiasts will be keenly watching how Coach Peseiro navigates the final selection process to assemble a formidable and competitive squad for the Ivory Coast AFCON.
