The Nigeria Football Federation on Monday announced the reconstitution of the technical crew of the Senior Men National Team, Super Eagles, with Augustine Eguavoen staying as Interim Technical Adviser while former Nigeria World Cup star and former U20 Boys’ Head Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke drafted in as immediate assistant to Eguavoen.

One of the most garlanded footballers to have come out of Nigeria, Amuneke scored both goals that won Nigeria the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations final match against Zambia in Tunis, scored the goal that won Nigeria and Africa’s first Olympic football gold medal in 1996 and played in the 1994 and 1996 FIFA World Cup finals, scoring two goals in USA ’94.

As coach, the electrifying winger qualified Tanzania for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and led the Taifa Stars in the finals. He is a Member of both the FIFA and CAF Technical Study Groups.

“The NFF Board has approved a recommendation of the Technical and Development Committee retaining Augustine Eguavoen as Technical Director/Technical Adviser (interim) while Emmanuel Amuneke becomes the Chief Coach of the Super Eagles. Salisu Yusuf will be the 2nd Assistant Coach/Chief Coach of the CHAN team and Joseph Yobo will be 3rd Assistant while Aloysius Agu remains the Goalkeepers’ Trainer,” NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi announced.

The reconstitution comes after the Super Eagles’ outing at the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon, and ahead of the potentially –explosive FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play-off round against the Black Stars of Ghana next month.

Sanusi added: “We acknowledge and appreciate the interest that Mr Jose Peseiro has shown in Nigeria Football during our very cordial discussions and have absolutely no doubt about his capacity. We believe that perhaps in the future, there could be an opportunity to work with him. However, in view of the positive performance of the Super Eagles at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations which has given hope to Nigerians and boosted our confidence in the present coaching crew to qualify us for the World Cup in Qatar, we have decided to accept the recommendation of the Technical and Development Committee to retain the Eguavoen-led coaching crew and strengthen it with the addition of Emmanuel Amuneke.”

So does this mean Amunike is the coach since Eguavoen is back to his role as technical director? the whole terminologies are confusing

[maceo4]

Yobo is so pointless in this setup - 3rd assistant abi ball boy lol

So does this mean Amunike is the coach since Eguavoen is back to his role as technical director? the whole terminologies are confusing

What is confusing about it? It is pretty clear as day and night that Egu is the man and the others are his assistants.

Because I'm used to the more layman's fundamental concepts of COACH AND ASSISTANT COACH in every national team set up, the whole "interim technical director" vs "Chief Coach" grammar is unnecessarily too verbose.

This is as clear as mud.

Amunike is the new head coach. Hmmm

[waka-man]

I can promise you we are the first team in history to have chief coach/first assistant role.
I love it. We are so bleeding creative!

No we are not the first. It is not the first time in Nigeria history sef. During Westerhof days, He was the Technical adviser of the team and Bonfere was the chief coach, the 1st assistant

Basically Amunike is replacing Rohr in his managerial role while Eguavoen reverts back to his "office" job in the background.

Replaces Salisu…

Nope, Amunike took Salisus position and pushed him down the pecking order, Egu is both TD and interim at ****s former position as Technical Adviser…terminology is funny but that’s how they’ve been doing it…TA is numero uno and Head coach is his 2nd in command…

[jette1]

EGU remains tech director

[maceo4]

AMUNIKE OFFICIALLY NAMED SE CHIEF COACH ???

Lol, kinda but not exactly…

This is a very unnecessary conundrum, a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

It’s a picnic panic move…surprised Amunike agreed to it…

It's a raging debate on Twitter as to the appellations and what they mean, the "interim" aspect for Eguavoen makes it even more confusing cause it's all framed to subtly give Amunike more coaching sway on the touchline over Eguavoen.

Why couldn't just NFF make it simple like sane people do and designate the roles as COACH AND ASSISTANT COACH? So what role will Salisu and Yobo be playing now? don't you think it's just too many technicalities than necessary for a coaching set up..
