Nigeria manager Jose Peseiro has reportedly agreed to take over the managerial reins at Egyptian giants Zamalek but on one condition.
Egyptian satellite television channel Sada El-Balad is reporting that the Portuguese is demanding US$70,000.00 – US$80,000.00 per month to succeed Colombian coach Juan Carlos Osorio, who was dismissed following Zamalek’s poor run of results.
Zamalek has informed Peseiro that his salary demands are beyond what the club can afford for now considering the poor results of El Fares El Abyad.
The former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach was paid $70,000 a month by the Nigerian Federation before agreeing to a pay cut to continue as coach of the Super Eagles on a short-term deal.
Peseiro’s future as Super Eagles coach is up in the air following the national team’s poor start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with two points in their opening two games in Group C after playing out draws with Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
The 63-year-old has been coaching the Super Eagles since May 2022 and his record stands at six wins, three draws and five losses in his fourteen games in charge.
