Former Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, is reportedly the top candidate to become the head coach of the Kuwaiti national team, according to the Arab Times.
The Kuwait Football Association is eager to appoint Peseiro to lead the Blue Wave in the critical qualifying round for the FIFA 2026 World Cup.
Peseiro, who stepped down as the Super Eagles head coach at the end of February, has been linked with a potential return to his former role. However, he is also attracting interest from Saudi club Al Riyadh.
The 63-year-old coach brings a wealth of experience, having previously managed national teams like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. He notably led the Super Eagles to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, where they finished as runners-up.
Kuwait finds itself in Group B of the World Cup qualifiers, competing against South Korea, Oman, Iraq, Palestine, and Jordan. Peseiro’s experience and strategic acumen would be a significant asset for the Blue Wave as they strive for World Cup qualification.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has yet to appoint a new coach for the Super Eagles following Peseiro’s departure several months ago. This delay has caused growing impatience among fans, who are eager for the team to be adequately prepared for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Super Eagles supporters have voiced their concerns over the prolonged search for a new coach, with some criticizing the NFF for not making a swift decision. However, others believe the NFF is being prudent, taking their time to find the right candidate to lead the team forward.
This situation underscores the challenges the NFF faces in selecting a suitable replacement for Peseiro, who performed admirably during his tenure. The new coach will have significant expectations to meet, but with the right choice, the Super Eagles can continue to achieve great success.
