New twist as NFF considers Amuneke as Finidi's assistant

With the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh's insistence that the Federal Government was not ready to foot the bill of Super Eagles new coach, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is said to be considering Enyimba coach, Finidi George with Emmanuel Amuneke as assistant, reports www.sportsunlimited.ng per Scorenigeria.com.

According to SCORENigeria, the NFF may now have settled for Finidi to continue as the head of the national team after he acted in an interim capacity in last month’s friendlies against Ghana and Mali.

Top government officials, it was gathered, have now told the NFF leadership that they should consider accommodating Amuneke in the new backroom staff of the Super Eagles.

Close watchers have now asked the question whether Amuneke will agree to assist Finidi should the Enyimba coach be appointed.

Some have also warned that the mistake leading up to the 2022 World Cup playoff against Ghana should not be repeated when Amuneke was imposed on Augustine Eguavoen and the Super Eagles crashed out.
