    Amuneke: Why I Was Removed As Coach Of El-Makkasa

    Amuneke: Why I Was Removed As Coach Of El-Makkasa

    Former Super Eagles winger Emmanuel Amuneke says he was not sacked by Egyptian side Misr El-Makkasa but had his role changed from head coach to director of the club’s academies across Africa, Completesports.com reports.

    Amuneke was appointed by El-Makkasa as coach on 2 February after they ended the contract of Ahmed Hossam ‘Mido’.

    However, the club issued a statement on Sunday, naming Ehab Galal as the new man in charge, with Amuneke changing his role after less than a month as coach.

    And the former African Player of The Year has denied been sacked.

    “I’m still with the team, there is no sack involved as reported because Makkasa is a massive group and the past year has seen them trying to create projects across the continent,” Amuneke told BBC Sport.

    “When I was still working in Tanzania, they came to the country to discuss with the government about investing in the east African country. They plan to invest in Tanzania, Mali and possibly in Nigeria in the future.

    “We’ve been discussing about the academies, we are still looking at the contractual options because this is a long-term project and I wouldn’t want it to affect any other coaching opportunities.”

    He added: “The decision to bring in a new coach is only logical because accepting to work on this big project means it will be difficult for me to combine both roles.

    “We’ll see how things pan out but I am still here working with Makkhasa.”

    In his short spell as coach Amuneke led El-Makkasa in three games against Smouha and Al Entag Al Harbi which both ended in 1-1 draws and then a 0-1 defeat to Tala’ea El Gaish in the Egyptian Cup.

    The club is currently struggling in the Egyptian league and caught up in the relegation dogfight, lying in 16th place on 14 points.

    Amuneke, who led Tanzania to their first Africa Cup of Nations since 1980, left the Taifa Stars by mutual consent following the team’s failure to progress to the knock-out stages of Egypt 2019.

    He has previously managed Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles as well as Sudanese club SC Khartoum.

    He was the assistant coach when Nigeria won the Fifa U-17 World Cup trophy for a record fourth time in the United Arab Emirates in 2013.

    Then two years later, he led the Golden Eaglets to a fifth U-17 World Cup title in Chile and was promoted to coach the U-20 side the Flying Eagles.

    As a player, he was a key part of the Super Eagles team that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia, scoring both goals in the 2-1 win against Zambia in the final.

    He also played for the Super Eagles at the 1994 World Cup – scoring twice at the tournament against Bulgaria and Italy.

    Two years after that triumph in Tunisia, he scored the winner again as Nigeria stunned Argentina 3-2 in the 1996 Olympic football final in Atlanta to become the first African football nation to win Olympic gold.

      Makes a lot more sense. How can you sack somebody and then assign them another role in the same establishment? Who does that? Now, we know it wasn’t a sack…it was a role change.

      And someone was already insinuating unethical conduct without any clue about Amunike’s story yesterday. What makes me wonder more is that when obvious nepotism and corruption are on display such people immediately start justifying them. It beats my imagination when the same person that saw nothing wrong when Super Eagle was turned to a guinea pig, an experiment for someone without any coaching experience or qualification WHATSOEVER; In fact, the person was busy promoting the idea, manufacturing merits when there was absolute none. Then the same person who was blind to the obvious was the one projecting insinuations when there was actually nothing obvious. May God deliver us. We choose to be blind to very serious issues out of personal sentiment. And again we choose to start looking for something wrong in situations when absolutely nothing is wrong. That is nothing but thinking upside down.

        Oga Debo, your riotous post suggests that this person you describe is depriving you of much needed sleep. Maybe you are also on hunger strike, which explains the disjointed reasoning. Indeed, it is tough to reason on an empty stomach! Oga, please take it easy. Eat, sleep well, relax. At the end of the day, this is a sports site and we are all here primarily for entertainment. Ther should be no place for vendetta here.

          …and this person the other person was talking about is the same person that replied the other person who was talking about him. Such a bold way for this person to attend to comments of the other person with a matured advice as a take-home package.
          Me sef I be person wey think say football is just business and entertainment, today, the narrative don change oh. The game is unique according to person to person.
          That’s why personal person issues are involved in every department of the sport…even in CSN comment section. See? its looking like I’m taking it personal already, me I be person wey no want another person wahala. Las Las, inside life na person dey there.
