Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has been appointed as the head coach of Zambia’s Premier League side, Zanaco FC.
The former Taifa Stars of Tanziania head coach is expected to travel to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, in the next few days to assume the new role.
Amuneke, a former Zamalek and Barcelona winger and an ex-Nigeria international, led the Nigeria U-17 national team, Golden Eaglets to win the 2015 U-17 World Cup in Chile and broke a 39-year jinx by qualifying Tanzania for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Details of his contract are sketchy at the moment.
Zanaco last won the Super League Division in 2016 and came second in 2021.
They lost their league match 1-0 at home on Sunday against Forest Rangers and the loss triggered the sack of former head coach, Chris Kaunda with Kelvin Kaindu appointed in his stead among other changes effected to stop the club’s blip.
The Bankers are currently ninth on the Zambian Super League table with six points from four games.
