Despite things not ending well, the player is willing to put it aside and accept a coaching role in the team if called upon.

“Becoming a goalkeeper coach, first of all, I’m not yet certified. If they want me to be like Zidane, who was not yet certified, but Real Madrid had faith in him; it can happen.

“I don’t have a problem if they wake up tomorrow and say, Vincent, come and be part of the setup- I will gladly do it. I can never say no to my country, I have always said that.

“I can never say no to Nigeria. I will bring my experience over the years in Europe, and we will do it. But they have to call me first,” he told Lagos Talks.

Enyeama is widely regarded as one of the greatest-ever goalkeepers to have represented the country. He was named Africa's Greatest-ever Goalkeeper by IFFHS.
