The biggest poser today is whether the NFF will finally decide against Emmanuel Amuneke as new Super Eagles coach after it came to light that he is embroiled in a court case that has caused his Lagos house to be seized.
Over the weekend, it emerged that Amuneke is facing a major legal battle that may now have significant adverse effect on his chances to be the next Super Eagles coach.
Both the NFF leadership and the Sports Minister John Enoh, who has been accused by officials of supporting Amuneke to be the new Eagles coach, have already been informed about this development.
“This is a serious matter and cannot be swept under the carpet,” a source informed SCORENigeria
“Will this case not be a major distraction for him should he now go on to be appointed Super Eagles coach?
“It is now left for the NFF and the Sports Minister to analyse the whole situation and decide on what is best for the national team.”
The Minister is understood to be favourably disposed to Amuneke leading the Super Eagles even if some of his close aides told SCORENigeria this is not the case.
The NFF technical committee, on the other hand, has picked Finidi George as its preferred choice for the top post.
The committee said Finidi will continue with the good work Jose Peseiro has begun with the team.
If oyibo coaches living abroad and only fly in a week to match day are not distracted, I wonder how house rent issue will distract Amunike, tell NFF to go and look for more harmful information about this man and bring,bad people, how does Amunike personal life concern una, this means, between now and when he will be announced as coach,if he shout on the wife,na wahala, Amunike, you don hear_ram,be careful, really an evil world, what has this young man done
I wonder how that will become a criteria to confirm is appointment,very many opportunist in leadership place without any brain.
NFF is destroying Nigeria football with corruption
Just got news that they have hired FINIDI , But he has no eufa coaching certificate which they told us that it’s one of the requirements, Amuneke has the certificate but they turned against him because of corruption
The only problem I have with NFF is their low IQ
Having a civil case in court or not, is not part of the pre-requisite for the appointment of a coach. Detractors of Amuneke should look for another ‘bad belle’ reason for their sentimental agenda. This one does not hold any water.
