As reported by Vanguard, Peseiro said he needs a break despite receiving up to seven offers.
He disclosed that he told the national teams or clubs that reached out to him to wait till the end of the month. He, however, did not reveal their identity.
“I told everyone to come back at the end of the month. What is certain is that I want to continue coaching and I need to choose wisely.”
Peseiro added that:
“At this moment, I repeat, all options remain possible. I received a lot of options and a lot of contacts from national teams or clubs. I would say 5, 6 or 7.
“I let them all know that I need to rest and that when my contract expires I will talk about it and start thinking about other projects. And decide my future. For now, I need to take a break and be calm.
“But I listen to the proposals and projects that are offered to me. And I evaluate whether I like it or not.”
Peseiro no longer with Super Eagles
Legit.ng earlier reported that Paseiro is no longer the coach of the Super Eagles but has the option of a two-year-old deal after meeting the semi-final target.
The Portuguese tactician led Nigeria to the AFCON final where the Super Eagles lost to the Elephant of Cote Divoire, the host nation.
Peseiro is, however, expected to meet with the minister of Youths and Sports, Senator John Enoh, to decide his future with the national team.
