Because Messi has had so many successful years and is now one of the most well-liked players in the world, he was also one of the most marketable players at the event.

Messi won the 2023 Ballon d’Or, his eighth trophy overall and the most in history, after winning the 2022 World Cup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following criticism from NFF Technical Committee chairman Shariff Ahlan on the Super Eagles’ subpar recent performances, coach Jose Peseiro has responded.

In retaliation, Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to quit dictating to him how to perform his duties and to pay him his allowances.

Peseiro issued the remark in response to criticism from the NFF Technical Committee, chaired by Shariff Ahlan, regarding his teams’ recent underwhelming performances, particularly in the World Cup qualifying matches against Zimbabwe and Lesotho.

The Portuguese coach was named the Super Eagles’ head coach in 2022. In his 15 games in charge of the three-time African champions, he has six wins and the same number of losses.

The Super Eagles have conceded 21 goals while scoring 31 goals under Jose Peseiro’s direction—ten of which came in a single match against Sao Tome and Principe.

NFF Technical Committee Chairman Ahlan expressed dissatisfaction with the Super Eagles’ play under Portuguese tactician Jose Peseiro and expressed a dire need to appoint a local coach in his place.

Jose Peseiro responded by telling Ahlan to stop attempting to control him and concentrate on more pressing issues, like paying the coach’s wage.

“You’re busy to pay me my allowances but not busy to tell me what I will do,” he replied

The former Sporting CP coach and Real Madrid assistant manager vowed to stick by his starting lineup for the upcoming matches.
