Amuneke will add value to Super Eagles’ coaching, Eguavoen says
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Augustine Eguavoen, the Super Eagles&#8217; interim Technical Adviser, thinks the selection of former teammate Emmanuel Amuneke to assist him at the senior level is &#8220;an excellent development.&#8221;</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">On Wednesday, Eguavoen told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin that Amuneke&#8217;s arrival will improve the level of the team&#8217;s coaching.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to NAN, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made minor changes to the technical staff of the Eagles on Monday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">While Eguavoen will remain as crew chief, Amuneke has been brought to the team, while former national under-20 team coach Paul Aigbogun has been removed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Amuneke will serve as the CHAN Super Eagles&#8217; Chief Coach and Eguavoen&#8217;s First Assistant, with Salisu Yusuf serving as the team&#8217;s Second Assistant/Chief Coach.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Third Assistant is Joseph Yobo, and the Goalkeepers&#8217; Trainer is Aloysius Agu.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;He (Amuneke) is my younger brother, and we have long collaborated. Eguavoen, who guided the Super Eagles to a round of 16 finish at the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon, said, &#8220;I think his entry into the team would give a lot of value also.&#8221;</span></p>
