Former Super Eagles Assistant Coach, Emmanuel Amunike, has been appointed as the Head Coach of Zambia premier league side, Zanaco FC.
The ex-Nigerian international will be in Zambia to take over as the new head coach of the Super League giants.
Details of his contract are sketchy at the time of this report, but the former Tanziania senior national team Coach will be on his way to the Zambia capital, Lusaka in the next few days to resume duty.
Zanaco last won the MTN/FAZ Super League Division in 2016 and came second in 2021. They lost their league match 1-0 at home on Sunday against Forest Rangers.
Amunike led Tanzania to break a 39-year jinx after he qualified them for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON in Egypt.
He led Nigeria’s U-17 Golden Eaglets to win the 2015 FIFA World Cup in Chile.
He was later relieved of being Super Eagles Coach after Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
