The former Sporting coach led the Super Eagles to a runner-up position at the 2023 AFCON where they lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast in the final.

Following Peseiro's rejection, Kayserispor have appointed Bosnian coach Sergej Jakirovic as their new manager. Jakirovic will sign a one-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

Kayserispor is currently facing challenges, including a ban on registering new players in the next three transfer windows and a financial crisis.

The team has also struggled on the field, going five games without a win, including four defeats and one draw.

Kayserispor currently sits in 17th place on the Turkish Super Lig table with 16 points.
