Nigeria’s head coach, Jose Peseiro, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant coaching position at Zamalek SC, a prominent Egyptian club.
As reported by the Egyptian website Kooora, Peseiro is among the candidates who have formally submitted their CVs for consideration in the selection process.
The coaching position at Zamalek became available following the dismissal of Colombian coach Juan Carlos Osorio due to unsatisfactory team performance, prompting the club to actively seek a replacement in the market.
Jose Peseiro is among the names already nominated to lead Zamalek,” a reliable club source told Kooora.
“But he does not enjoy any preference. He is just one name among many CVs on the board of directors’ table.”
Peseiro’s decision to apply for the White Castle’s coaching job may not go down well with his current employers, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The 63-year-old penned a new short-term contract with the NFF in the summer.
The Portuguese is currently under-fire following the Super Eagles of Nigeria’s poor start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Eagles are without a win after two games following their 1-1 draw against the Warriors of Zimbabwe on Sunday.
