Augustine Eguavoen took over as coach of the Super Eagles before they were ousted in the round of 16 by Tunisia at the AFCON.

In the group stage, Eguavoen’s men had won all of their matches against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau.

“The Africa Cup of Nations is a very strong battle amongst powerful teams,” Peseiro told Kingfut.

He noted that the four strongest teams throughout the tournament have reached the semi-finals.

“Egypt struggled against Nigeria, but after that, they showed their true potential, their players put in a fantastic performance against Morocco, and they have what it takes to win the tournament.”

In March, Peseiro is slated to take over as coach of the Super Eagles for their 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff match against Ghana’s Black Stars.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
