Former Kwara United coach, Samson Unuanel, has raised doubts about Jose Peseiro’s technical ability to manage the Super Eagles. Unuanel expressed his reservations in the aftermath of Nigeria’s 3-2 victory over Sierra Leone in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Monrovia.
In a chat with Completesports.com, Unuanel criticized Peseiro’s tactical and technical know-how, citing some of the poor substitutions during the game. He argued that a more tactical team would have defeated the Super Eagles after leveling the score 2-2.
As a coach, Peseiro needs to have a good understanding of the game’s technical and tactical aspects to make the right decisions during a match. Making the wrong substitution or failing to read the game properly can have a significant impact on the result.
In football, substitutions are crucial, and coaches need to make the right decisions at the right time. They have to assess the game’s flow and make changes that will give their team an edge over the opposition. A good coach will have a deep knowledge of the game and use it to his advantage.
It remains to be seen whether Peseiro can address Unuanel’s concerns and lead the Super Eagles to glory in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Nonetheless, it is essential to have a coach who can make sound tactical and technical decisions to take the team to the next level.
