José Peseiro is the only Portuguese on the list of 20 nominees for the 2024 best coach award for IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics). The coach led Nigeria to the CAN’2023 final – after winning five of the six qualifiers – in January, losing (1-2) to Ivory Coast in the decisive game. He would end up leaving his position in March, due to the difficulties experienced in the federation.
