The Flying Eagles lost 1-0 to South Korea after extra-time to miss out on a place in the semi-finals.
A 94th minute goal by Choi Seok-Hyun ended the Flying Eagles’ hopes of winning a first-ever U-20 World Cup title.
However, Peseiro hailed the Ladan Bosso side, urging them to be proud of their performance.
“Heads up, Flying Eagles!” Peseiro wrote on Twitter.
