“I’m constantly offered to serve my nation,” Amuneke stated, as quoted by Brila FM.

“I’m grateful to Nigerians and the Federation for searching in my instructions. For now, there’s no use speaking much; when it’s time, I will grant an interview about the job.”

Amuneke bet Egypt’s Zamalek, Barcelona, and Sporting Lisbon.

His finest minutes came with the Super Eagles and the Dream Team as he scored the important objectives that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Atlanta ’96 Olympics football gold for Nigeria.

Amuneke was called the African Footballer of the Year in 1994 and the BBC African Footballer of the Year two years later on.

An injury forced Amuneke to quit football in 2004, and he took to coaching after earning his licence.
