Jose Peseiro has left his job as Super Eagles coach after leading the team to win silver at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Portuguese, who joined the team well over a year ago, made the announcement on his social media on Friday afternoon.
“Yesterday [Thursday], we concluded our contract with the NFF. It was a pride and honor to coach the Super Eagles,” he wrote.
“It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfillment.
“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.
“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you.”
