The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mr Amaju Pinnick has made a revelation that he was under immense pressure to sack the current Golden Eaglets Coach Emmanuel Amuneke. Amuneke and his team to the African championships held in Niger earlier in the year did not meet the expectations of many Nigerians and Pinnick revealed that he stuck to his gun to retain the former Barcelona star as the U-17 coach. “I’m extremely happy for Emmanuel Amuneke because he, along with other officials, have demonstrated that they are good fathers to you all and I’m glad that I was able to withstand the pressure to sack him when the team failed to win the African Championship trophy in Niger Republic. “Here in Chile, Emmanuel has shamed all the doubting Thomases but I don’t want you to forget that the most important match is against Mali on Sunday,” he said. This is a life-time opportunity for you to write your names in gold and you know how appreciative our country can be to winners and heroes. Sunday is the day to write your names into the history books,” Pinnick noted. The Eaglets finished fourth at the 11th African U-17 Championship in Niger Republic where Mali emerged as champions, while the duo of South Africa and Guinea also finished ahead of the Amuneke-tutored side. http://realworldofsport.com/2015/11/07/i-almost-sacked-amuneke-for-not-winning-african-championship-trophy-pinnick/ 1 Like |

Patience is a virtue. The issue is just that due to man's ignorance of the future, it can either backfire or end well. Only Christ can reveal it. 1 Like |

Congrats to the Eaglets so far. But I hope for a future where grassroots and developmental football would be so developed that we would have LITTLE OR NO doubt about the age of our age grade players. We are getting there gradually. |
