2023 AFCON Qualifier: Super Eagles Set To Bounce Back Against Guinea Bissau Sports
Eyebrows continue to be raised around Jose Paseiro’s ability to lead Nigeria to success as the Coach has struggled to make his mark since taking over the reins of Super Eagles in May 2022.
The Portuguese manager was in fact a surprise appointment for the Super Eagles job after his underwhelming 18-month spell in charge of Venezuela, where he picked up just one win in 10 matches. Despite calling up a host of world-class talents across all departments of the pitch, Nigeria were stunned in Abuja as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Guinea-Bissau on Friday.
With less than 40% of the ball possession, Baciro Cande’s side found a way against the run of play as Mama Balde powered home the only goal of the game one minute before the half-hour mark. The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winners have now lost each of their last four matches across all competitions, suffering defeats against Algeria, Costa Rica, Portugal and most-recently Guinea-Bissau.
