Super Eagles’ interim Technical Adviser, Augustine Eguavoen,
on Wednesday said the appointment of former Barcelona winger Emmanuel Amuneke
to assist him at the senior national team is “a very good development.”
Eguavoen, who disclosed this in Ilorin, said the coming of
Amuneke would be a great addition to the quality of the Super Eagles’ coaching.
Recall that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had
announced the decision to drop former Real Madrid assistant manager, Jose
Peseiro, and named Amuneke as the coach of the Super Eagles.
Amuneke will work together with Eguavoen, as well as Salisu
Yusuf, Joseph Yobo, and Alloy Agu, as Nigeria faces Ghana in a 2022 World Cup
qualifying playoff in March.
“He [Augustine Eguavoen] is my younger brother and we have
worked together for so long. I think his coming into the team will add a lot of
value also.
“Once we get information on a player, I’ll go round to watch
him. And not just me, a couple of my colleagues are also watching.
“That gives the home-based players a lot of hope and
thinking that they’ll get a chance one day to play in the Super Eagles,”
Eguavoen told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
