For the first in almost two years, Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, will go into a game without Portuguese gaffer, Jose Peseiro, when they confront old rivals, Ghana, in a friendly game in Morocco.
Peseiro stepped down from his job after leading the Super Eagles to a silver medal finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire last month.
He told thenff.com that the team would approach today’s match against Ghana like a cup final, saying that some of the new boys in the team want to prove that they deserve permanent positions in the squad. Speaking on the games against Ghana and Mali, Awaziem, who has been in and out of the squad since 2016, said playing with George as coach would ensure continuity and improvement on the Peseiro era.
Ghana’s Black Stars, with three points from beating Madagascar and losing away to Comoros, are up against Les Aigles of Mali in Bamako before hosting the Central African Republic during the same international window.
