'I am impressed with what I have seen' - Peseiro in awe of Nigeria under-17s

Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has expressed delight at the high level of talent in the Nigerian under-17 national team.

The Portuguese manager has been in Abuja monitoring the training camp of the Nduka Ugbade-led team as they prepare for the u-17 AFCON in Algeria.

After watching the training sessions of the Golden Eaglets on Monday morning in Abuja, the senior national team manager could not contain his excitement.

Peseiro says he is convinced that Nigeria is a country flowing with an abundance of football talents in reference to what he saw at the Golden Eaglets camp.

"I am impressed with what I have seen with the performance of the players here," Peseiro said as reported by Nigerian journalist Tobi Adepoju.

"Nigeria is known for having very talented players, so I am therefore not surprised with the performance of these players," Peseiro continued.

The former Sporting Lisbon manager also offered motivation to the players who are still at the start of their careers.

"You have to keep working hard and keep improving your game. Unfortunately, not all the players here will be selected," Peseiro said.

The Super Eagles boss also offered motivation to those who will be dropped, "you should not give up if you fail to make the final team."
