Peseiro\u2019s appointment marks his return to Egyptian football, having previously managed Al Ahly during the 2015\/16 season.<\/p>\n

His vast coaching experience includes stints with Porto, and Venezuela, along with his most recent role as Nigeria\u2019s national team head coach.<\/p>\n

He led the Super Eagles to a second-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations before his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expired in February 2024.<\/p>\n
