Ex- Super Eagles coach rejects job offer from Turkish club

Former Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has turned down an offer to manage Turkish club Kayserispor, according to Portuguese news outlet A Bola.

The 64-year-old had been in talks with Kayserispor but ultimately rejected the opportunity to join the team.

The Portuguese has been a free agent since his contract expired with the Super Eagles in March 2024.

The former Sporting coach led the Super Eagles to a runner-up position at the 2023 AFCON where they lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast in the final.

Following Peseiro's rejection, Kayserispor have appointed Bosnian coach Sergej Jakirovic as their new manager. Jakirovic will sign a one-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

Kayserispor is currently facing challenges, including a ban on registering new players in the next three transfer windows and a financial crisis.

The team has also struggled on the field, going five games without a win, including four defeats and one draw.

Kayserispor currently sits in 17th place on the Turkish Super Lig table with 16 points.
