“He’s My Assistant”- Super Eagles Coach, Peseiro Hails Ahmed Musa Ahead Of AFCON Final
Eko Hot Blog reports that Super Eagle’s head coach Jose Peseiro has confessed his admiration for Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa ahead of the team’s clash with Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Eagles will trade tackles with hosts Cote d’Ivoire on Sunday in the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Just like in Nigeria’s first six games of the tournament, Musa will almost certainly not be named in the Super Eagles’ starting eleven against the Elephants.
Despite being the team’s skipper, Musa has not played a minute of Nigeria’s matches at the AFCON.

PAOK defender William Troost-Ekong has led the Super Eagles onto the field from the first game against Equatorial Guinea to the semifinal clash with South Africa.
In the absence of any unforeseen circumstances, Troost-Ekong will lead the three-time continental champions onto the pitch of the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan for the final match.
Still, Peseiro sees Musa as an important member of the squad without whom the success recorded in Cote d’Ivoire would have been a mirage.

Peseiro maintains that Musa is not only a player and a skipper, but the Sivasspor ace also plays the role of a coach, often offering his expertise to the former Porto boss.
