NFF may not wish  getting Emmanuel Amuneke  as the new head of technical department though the topic has made headlines. The information is according to a close  confidant of former  Barcelona winger. To NationSport on Tuesday, the reliable source dismissed  the  news according to which the Nigeria Football Federation is about to appoint  Amuneke as  replacement for  Bitrus Bewarang.

“I don’t think the NFF has reached any deal with coach Emmanuel Amuneke despite all the speculations in the media. You know Amuneke too well. That he would not jump at any offer without  sorting out a formal contract with anybody that needs his service. And I don’t think  that hurdle has been crossed by both parties. And I mean Amuneke and NFF.” The usual reliable source told NationSport.

The 49-year-old  who led Tanzania to the 2019 AFCON in Egypt, is currently  the head of the technical department of Egyptian  club Misr Lel Makkasa.

He recently hinted that he was open to serving  the country in any capacity with the caveat that  the environment must be satisfactory for him to take such gambit.

“I’m always grateful that  I was given the opportunity of coaching the Golden Eaglets. And I’m always ready to serve in any capacity.” The former Zamalek winger told Television Continental (TVC)
