FORMER Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Emmanuel Amuneke has expressed his desire to coach the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of the World Cup qualifiers but pointed out that he is not desperate for the job.
The Nigeria Football Federation has made it known that they are in search of a Head Coach for the senior men's football team, which has seen many top names mentioned since the announcement.
Emmanuel Amuneke, who coached the Nigeria U-17 national team and the Tanzania national team, noted his desire to coach the team but believes that the person should be appointed on merit.
“The Super Eagles’ upcoming World Cup qualification matches against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and their counterparts from Benin Republic would necessitate the appointment of a substantive coach who would also need some time to put the house in order for best results,” the 1996 Olympic gold medalist said.
“I am not desperate to be Super Eagles coach, though I nurse the ambition to coach. If I have the opportunity to serve my fatherland, I will accept it and deliver my all,” he added.
So far, the NFF has yet to decide who they would appoint as the Head Coach, but a lot of names have been mentioned, which include local and foreign coaches seeking to lead the Super Eagles of Nigeria to glory days.
