Emmanuel Amuneke Turns Down Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles Jobs

Former Barcelona winger Emmanuel Amuneke has rejected an offer from NFF President Amaju Pinnick to continue coaching the Golden Eaglets and work as an assistant to Manu Garba in the Flying Eagles.

Amuneke has stressed that Pinnick didn’t thrash out terms with him before he made an announcement on his reappointment last week.

“No doubt coaching the national team is something I consider a huge privilege and when you even get to win honors with the national team, I think there are very few experiences that can beat that, ” said Amuneke to footballive.ng.

 “However, I don’t subscribe to certain situations and certainly I don’t think announcing the appointment of a coach on air without a meeting with the party involved or a written contract is not how I’ll choose to work.”

Emmanuel Amuneke was in the dugout when the Golden Eaglets won the Fifa Under 17 World Cup last month.
