Nigeria’s Super Eagle Coach Jose Peseiro has set for himself a high standard after revealing his only goal with the senior national team so with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Peseiro was appointed in May last year after Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup in Qatar. The Portuguese has won twice in his eight appearances as the gaffer of the Nigerian team.

Despite his unappealing numbers, the 62 year old has set a bar of winning the AFCON 2024 as his goal.

“I only have one goal, to win the next AFCON. This is our goal. I repeat many times, only that goal.

"If I could share my experience, my knowledge about everything I can do, it's not my main goal. My main goal is that I want to win the next AFCON for the Super Eagles.

"I am here for them. I came from Europe to know better about the people here and improve my capacity by having the best relationship with my players, the people, the fans also, and the media. I respect everybody.” Peseiro said.
