Jose Peseiro, the former Super Eagles head coach has revealed the reason he quit his job.
The Portuguese was in charge of the three-time African champions for 22 months and guided the Super Eagles to second position at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
The 64-year-old left the post after his contract expired in February.
Peseiro said he left the post because of the pressure and stress that comes with it.
”I decided that when I finish the AFCON, I will leave. I had put too much effort in my job, it was too much stress.
Everyone supported me – my family and the players but I grew fatigue, I thought it was enough for me, even if I had won the AFCON,” Peseiro told SABC sport.
Despite the challenges he encountered while managing the Super Eagles, Peseiro said the “job was special”.
