Currently in the search of the next challenge in his career, Jose Peseiro, who parted ways from the Nigerian national team, is looking for the next exciting challenge.
The 64-year-old tells CNN Portugal via O’jogo that receiving offers to return to Portuguese football is not on the cards.
Peseiro insisted he would not close the door on the right opportunity but is seeking something new and interesting somewhere else’ from Portugal.
Benfica: The Ultimate Temptation
The former coach hinted that Benfica is a dream, while Peseiro has already managed top Portuguese clubs Sporting, FC Porto, and Braga.
He then recalled being close to managing the Lisbon giants when Jorge Jesus was in charge but conceded the opportunity has probably gone.
At that time I was close to moving to Benfica during the Jesus era, but it didn’t happen. Now I feel I would have been able to, but opportunity is behind me, I think.”
The former Eagles manager revealed why he left the Super Eagles job in a previous report from Sportsbuddy.

No Jose Peseiro Return to Portugal
Peseiro said he had ties to the Portuguese game but thinks it’s unlikely he will sign to another team playing in Portugal’s top division.
‘I don’t see myself coaching another Portuguese team, but there are projects I find interesting,’ he said. But even there, a return to manage Benfica isn’t completely off the table, he said, because it’s ‘not against the possibility’.
