As discontent continues to brew over the performance of Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro, the chairman of The Professional Footballers Association of Nigeria (PFAN) Task Force, Harrison Jalla, has added his voice to the growing chorus, urging the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to take decisive action.
In a strong statement, Jalla emphasized the need for the NFF to promptly terminate Peseiro’s contract. The chairman articulated that the current situation demands immediate intervention, stating, “The NFF has to sack him now.”

He underscored the importance of prioritizing the team’s integrity over financial considerations, expressing, “It is more honourable for us to fumble with our local coach than spend about $70,000 monthly on a foreign coach and get bad results.”
Jalla’s call for Peseiro’s dismissal is rooted in concerns about the potential repercussions for the Super Eagles, especially with the upcoming AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.
The chairman warns of the looming threat of another disaster if the necessary action is not taken swiftly.
