Former coach of the Nigeria U17 and U20 team Emmanuel Amuneke has aired his views on his reported appointment by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as part of the technical crew of the senior national team of Nigeria.
Amuneke as first reported by this portal had been added to the Austine Eguavoen led crew as part of the move by the NFF to beef up the technical crew ahead of the World Cup playoff against Ghana in March.
We gathered he will be part of the assistant of Eguavoen who will work on a mandate to deliver the World Cup ticket to Nigeria. Amuneke however denied that he has been offered the chance of joining the crew.
In an interview with Sporting Sun, the coach who is back in Spain after working for CAF as part of the technical study group at the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations said no contact has been made so far. Although he said he will make a decision when he is contacted.
“I’m not aware of any appointment with the Super Eagles or any job with the Nigerian government. I just return to my base in Spain from the CAF Technical Study Group duty at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon and I read the story of my appointment from the Internet,” he was quoted as saying by Sporting Sun Emma Jemegah.
“I was in the team’s hotel in Cameroon countless times and there was no time the appointment was discussed with me. Right now, nobody has contacted me, not even the NFF or the Sports Ministry. Until an offer is made, I will rather not talk on that,” he sounded off.
