JUST IN: Peseiro Linked With Algeria Job, May Quit Super Eagles

Jose Peseiro, whose contract with Nigeria ended after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, is now being considered for the coaching position with the Algeria national team.

Peseiro led the Super Eagles to second place at the AFCON 2023 finals. Reports from Algeria suggest that the Portuguese coach is among the top candidates to lead the Desert Foxes.

In addition to Peseiro, former South Africa and Egypt coach Carlos Querioz is also being mentioned in connection with the job. The Algeria Football Federation is actively searching for a new coach for the Desert Foxes following their disappointing performance in the AFCON held in Cote d’Ivoire, where the two-time African champions were eliminated in the group stage.

Notably, Peseiro has previously been linked with a coaching role at the top Egyptian club Zamalek.
