Emmanuel Amuneke, who recently gunned for the Super Eagles top post, has today been presented as the new coach of Heartland FC.
The presentation was done at the Imo State Government House by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
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,” Governor Uzodimma announced.
“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 have 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 them back to their winning ways and reigniting our collective passion for the team.”
The 53-year-old former FC Barcelona winger has previously headed NPFL clubs Julius Berger and Ocean Boys.
The former Super Eagles star has also handled Tanzania national team as well as clubs in Sudan, Egypt and Zambia.
It is widely understood that relegated Heartland will feature in the NPFL in the new season after they bought the slot of promoted Beyond Limits Academy.
