There have been growing calls for the sacking of former Super Eagles head coach José Peseiro following the elimination of Zamalek from the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Egyptian giants were eliminated by PSL outfit Stellenbosch on Wednesday, April 9.

Despite going into the second leg with a slight advantage after a goalless draw in Cape Town, the White Knights failed to capitalize on their home advantage as they tumbled to a 1-0 defeat at home.

Sihle Nduli stunned the home crowd after finding the back of the net with 11 minutes left to play.

The defeat has left a bitter taste in the mouths of the fans, who are demanding the immediate dismissal of the Portuguese tactician who took over the reins of the club in February.

Peseiro, who guided Nigeria to the finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, has managed five wins, six draws, and two defeats in 13 competitive matches for Zamalek.
