Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has officially appointed Super Eagles Legend Emmanuel Amunike as the New head coach of the Nigeria national team Super Eagles.
NFF selected Amunike after screening dozens of applications from foreign and indigenous coaches over the past few weeks as the successor to Jose Peseiro.
The 1994 AFCON winner excelled as coach of Nigeria’s U17 team, leading them to glory at the FIFA U17 World Cup.
He also led Tanzania to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations – their first in nearly 40 years.
However, Amunike’s record with Egypt’s Misr Lel Makkasa and Zambia’s Zanaco left much to be desired.
The 53-year-old coach also failed to help the Nigeria U20 team qualify for the AFCON in 2017.
More details shortly.
