Super Eagles: NFF appoints Eguavoen, Amuneke as Technical Adviser & Assistant by powerfulguy: 7:40pm On Feb 07, 2022
The Nigeria Football Federation on Monday announced the reconstitution of the technical crew of the Senior Men National Team, Super Eagles, with Augustine Eguavoen staying as Interim Technical Adviser while former Nigeria World Cup star and former U20 Boys’ Head Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke drafted in as immediate assistant to Eguavoen.

This was disclosed in a statement from the country’s football house on Monday.

Part of the statement reads, “One of the most garlanded footballers to have come out of Nigeria, Amuneke scored both goals that won Nigeria the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations final match against Zambia in Tunis, scored the goal that won Nigeria and Africa’s first Olympic football gold medal in 1996 and played in the 1994 and 1996 FIFA World Cup finals, scoring two goals in USA ’94.

“As coach, the electrifying winger qualified Tanzania for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and led the Taifa Stars in the finals. He is a Member of both the FIFA and CAF Technical Study Groups.”

The statement also quoted the NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi as saying, “The NFF Board has approved a recommendation of the Technical and Development Committee retaining Augustine Eguavoen as Technical Director/Technical Adviser (interim) while Emmanuel Amuneke becomes the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles. Salisu Yusuf will be the 2nd Assistant Coach/Chief Coach of the CHAN team and Joseph Yobo will be 3rd Assistant while Aloysius Agu remains the Goalkeepers’ Trainer.

“We acknowledge and appreciate the interest that Mr Jose Peseiro has shown in Nigeria Football during our very cordial discussions and have absolutely no doubt about his capacity. We believe that perhaps in the future, there could be an opportunity to work with him. However, in view of the positive performance of the Super Eagles at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations which has given hope to Nigerians and boosted our confidence in the present coaching crew to qualify us for the World Cup in Qatar, we have decided to accept the recommendation of the Technical and Development Committee to retain the Eguavoen-led coaching crew and strengthen it with the addition of Emmanuel Amuneke.”

The reconstitution comes after the Super Eagles’ outing at the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon, and ahead of the potentially –explosive FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play-off round against the Black Stars of Ghana next month.

Nice. I won’t judge a coach with a short stint of 1 month. It was obvious the coach Eguavoen needed time to understand his players and make them play to different tactics. This we saw in the AFCON. Eguavoen is sound and plays the Westerhoff system only that he needed a technical assistant to help him. The appointment of Amuneke is a right step in the right direction. Soar Super Eagles.

Eguavoen and Amuneke is a top combo. Wishing them all the best. And kudos to Pininick for convincing Amuneke.

Finally there is no Ike Shorunmu.

That guy has always been on coaching list since time immemorial.

Now Nigeria is copying Senegal. Seeing �� victorious at the AFCON is pure joy and satisfaction. No white coach to be worshipped in their victory. NFF decision to patronize her own will soon bring back the glory.

This is good news. Their combo is good . I just hope NFF will pay their salaries on time.
The Senegal win has shown that indigenous coaches can do it rather than some third grade white coaches that do not have the interest of the country at heart.

As players, these two were better than Poseiro.
As coaches, they have achieved more than Poseiro.

I am not against foreign coaches, but dont go and bring one grade D coach with no pedigree nor acumen to coach a whole Super Eagles. We should go for the best coaches available and not men like Bora Milutinovic, Berti Vogts, Phillip Trousier, Lars Lagarback, Genet Rohr, Jose Peseiro who are top tier coaches in thier Continent.

OK … very good points.
The real test is coming up next month … should be a good game. I believe Ghana tried to get Rohr but he has declined.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. All I see is a factionalised team; with Amunike having a camp of his loyalist and Eguavoen having his own. Even the Salisu and Co will not be left out. I think Amaju lacks the intellectual tenet to function in the capacity he has been task with. His types can do well as a hype man or kegite patron or NURTW Chairman. No sane country would leave such a sensitive position with a myopic minded person. He is just for the gallery. My point is, it's either Amunike or Eguavoen.

I fear this country, always too envious of little achievements of other countries without knowing how those countries attained their present position. NFF is now confused of the right thing to do because of the achievement of Aliou Cisse of senegal. Why creating redundancy roles for both eguavon and amunike? Why can't they name Eguavon for the substantive role and allow him to select his backroom staff either within the country or from outside the country.
Same way they wanted American democracy without understanding what american democracy and politics is all about. They wanted young president because of the likes of Emmanuel Macron without understanding it us not about Macron but about a working and guiding constitution

Two captains in one ship. Amuneke ego and being a boss mentality would only create factions among super eagle players.

Let hope this appointments good for the super Eagle.
