Bonfrere Joe backs Amuneke for Super Eagles job

The search for the next coach of the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, has been a hot topic of debate among fans and stakeholders.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced that the position is open after the contract of Jose Peseiro expired.
Peseiro led the team to a runner-up finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, but his tenure was marred by controversies and criticisms.
One of the candidates who has expressed interest in taking over the Super Eagles is Emmanuel Amuneke, a former player and assistant coach of the team.
Amuneke is widely regarded as one of the finest wingers in Nigerian football history, and he was part of the squad that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and the 1996 Olympic gold medal.
He also had a successful coaching career, leading Tanzania to their first Africa Cup of Nations appearance in 39 years in 2019.
Amuneke has received a strong endorsement from Jo Bonfrere, a former technical adviser of the Super Eagles.
Bonfrere, who is from the Netherlands, coached Nigeria to their first Olympic gold medal in 1996 and also reached the final of the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations.
He is considered one of the most successful foreign coaches in Nigerian football history.
