“NFF has agreed that Amuneke will remain to nurture the next Golden Eaglets, which will start preparing for the 2017 African and world championships by next year,” Akinwunmi said at a dinner to honour the players and officials.
Explaining the reason behind the decision, Akinwunmi said it was to allow each coach at every level work well with each other and form a systematic transition from one level to the next.
“What we have tried to do is to encourage the growth of youth football. There is nothing stopping the Eaglets from aspiring and working very hard to participate in the Super Eagles cadre,” he added.
