The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has parted company with head coach Jose Poseiro.

The Portuguese announced the separation on his X page on Friday.

"Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF. It was a pride and honour to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfilment," he stated 

Mr Poseiro expressed gratitude to the former President of the NFF and current administration after ending his 22-month stint with the West African country.

"We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.

"Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you."

Jose Poseiro led the Super Eagles to the finals of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, losing 2-1 to host Côte d'Ivoire.

It was the first final Nigeria since the AFCON in South Africa in 2013.
