AFCON 2023: Bovi blames Peseiro for Nigeria’s defeat

Renowned comedian Bovi says Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro was to blame for his team’s loss to Cote d’Ivoire in the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations final.

Recall that Nigeria lost 2-1 to the hosts, Cote d’Ivoire, on Sunday.

Reacting via his X handle, Bovi blamed coach Peseiro’s tactics for the three-time African champions’ defeat.

He faulted Peseiro’s strategy of relying on defense rather than attack, stressing that he would have still been pissed even if Nigeria had won.

Bovi wrote: “Blame the coach. We are a footballing nation of flare. Fluidity, through passes, dribbles, attack. Not all out defence. Even if we’d won, I would still be pissed. The style was evidently alien to the players.”
