Peseiro was seen all smiles as he shakes the hand of the 27-year-old former Enyimba FC goalkeeper. And that has fueled speculations that Uzoho may not be Super Eagles first choice at the 2023 AFCON.
Peseiro in a meeting with the Sports Minister Honourable John Enoh and officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confessed that he’s already talking to a new goalkeeper to help stabilise the goalkeeping department.
After a careful examination of the Stanley Nwabili, two important things of interest can be stated; and they are:
First, (at 27) he’s a very young Goalkeeper who can boast of many more years with the Super Eagles if he eventually gets a nod in goal. Modern day football coaches always consider the ages of the players at their possessions; and Nwabili is right on track as far as age is concerned.
Secondly, Nwabili has a wide range of experience (both local and abroad) having featured in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) before going abroad.
