Head coach Jose Peseiro has revealed the reason why he decided to take a pay-cut to stay with the Super Eagles.
The former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach accepted a reduction to his salary this summer to remain in charge of the Nigerian national team and according to Peseiro, his players asked him to stay so they can win the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament in January.
Peseiro said that the players believe with him around, they can bring the AFCON trophy back on home soil again and the 3-time champions have been drawn in Group A, alongside hosts Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.
