Following the report of his contract expiration with the Super Eagles after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Jose Peseiro has emerged as a potential candidate for the coaching position of the Algeria national team.
Reports from Algeria suggest that the Portuguese coach is being seriously considered to lead the Desert Foxes.
Alongside Peseiro, former coaches Carlos Queiroz and others have also been associated with the job.
Naija News understands that the Algeria Football Federation is actively searching for a new coach after the team’s disappointing performance in Cote d’Ivoire, where they were eliminated in the group stage.
It is worth noting that Peseiro has previously been linked with a prominent Egyptian club, Zamalek.
Recall that Peseiro led Nigeria to the 2023 AFCON final but failed to secure the title for the Super Eagles after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast.
