Augustine Eguavoen Says Amuneke will Add Value to the Team
Early this week, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) announced the appointment of Emmanuel Amuneke as the new head coach of Super Eagles. Amuneke was named the Chief Coach and Augustine Eguavoen’s first assistant, while Salisu Yusuf was named Second Assistant Chief Coach of the Super Eagles.
In an interview, he described Amuneke’s appointment by the NFF, as a “very good development.” He also said: “Amuneke is my younger brother and we have worked together for so long. I think he’s coming into the team will add a lot of value also.” “Once we get information on a player, I will go round to watch him. And not just me, a couple of my colleagues are also watching.”
“That gives the home-based players a lot of hope and thinking that they will get a chance one day to play in the Super Eagles.”
