Former Nigerian international, Joseph Dosu has revealed that Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro should be held responsible if Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
He made this known on the backdrop of the team’s 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in today’s qualifier at the Huye Stadium, Butare.
Recall that Walter Musona gave the hosts the lead in the 26th minute. The Sekhukhune United forward’s free kick from outside the box sailed into net.
Substitute Iheanacho equalised for the Super Eagles 25 minutes from time.The Super Eagles have now amassed two points from two games.

Reacting to the result, the Atlanta Olympic gold medalist in a chat with Completesports.com, stated that Peseiro should be blamed if Nigeria failed to qualify.
He also questioned the Portuguese tactician’s inability to recognize former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama in the national team.
“I really don’t know what to say again because from the beginning Nigerians came out to say a lot of things with the way the Super Eagles have been playing and the Hose Peseiro say we are putting pressure on the team. And that we should not put pressure so that the team will play very well.
“So we have decided not to put pressure and we are still seeing the same thing. So whatever the Federation and the coaches want to do with our national teams they should keep on doing it. If we qualify fine and if we don’t qualify there is nothing anybody can do.
“We can’t hold anybody responsible except the head and the coach, Peseiro. This same coach was asked by the journalist that don’t you think we are having a goalkeeping problem by bringing in Vincent Enyeama. He was asking the journalist that who is Vincent Enyeama. How can you say who is Vincent Enyeama? This is a guy that has kept for the Super Eagles for almost 16 years. A goalkeeper that kept for a club in France and everywhere. He’s almost the best in Africa And he’s saying who is Vincent Enyeama. I think this goes a long way. Like I said, wish them what they want to do with the national team. Goodluck to them.”
