Amuneke Eyes Super Eagles Coaching Job

Former Nigeria international, Emmanuel Amuneke, has expressed his readiness to be Super Eagles coach if given the opportunity to work in that capacity.

Amuneke made this known in an interview on News Central TV, stating that if the country finds him fit to add value to the team, he’s willing to accept the chance.

“I am a Nigerian, all my life I have served Nigeria as a player. If Nigerians find me fit to add value to the team, it is a welcome development.

“But for now it is not necessary to talk about this issue. We have to support the team and other Nigerians, they are going through a lot of sadness.

“We all want the best for our country and our football. This has to be respected.”

The 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medalist also lamented the poor utilisation of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen in the team’s attack at the just concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nation.

He said that the Napoli striker spent a lot of time helping the team to defend.

“You know in this AFCON, Osimhen spent a lot of time helping the team to defend, and when you have a striker that is so dangerous, move a lot and then at the end of the day he is coming to defend. I think it reduces his quality.

“Osimhen is a player that when you look at him, moves a lot and needs players that can actually, you know, give him those balls into spaces where he can become effective and functional.”
