Heartland appoint Amuneke new head coach

Nigeria National League (NNL) outfit, Heartland have unveiled former Super Eagles winger, Emmanuel Amuneke as their new head coach.

Amuneke was unveiled by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma at his office on Monday.

The 53-year-old’s last managerial stint was with Egyptian club Misr Lel-Makkasa where he served until February 2021.

Heartland were relegated from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) last season.

The Naze Millionaires finished in 18th position on the table.

There are reports that the Owerri club are in talks with newly promoted Beyond Limits Academy to purchase their NPFL slot.

I am thrilled to announce that our brother, Mr Emmanuel Amuneke, the celebrated international football legend from Imo State, has been appointed as the Head Coach of Heartland Football Club.

Amuneke's remarkable career has made us incredibly proud, and his return to our State in this new role brings a wave of optimism. Heartland FC has faced series of challenges in recent seasons, but this appointment marks a renewed commitment to revitalize the club.

With Amuneke's wealth of experience and indigeneship to the State, I am confident that this will be a turning point for Heartland FC, guiding it back to its winning ways and reigniting our collective passion for the team.
