The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) technical director of Ammy Ninje has told Emmanuel Amuneke that his job is still safe with the team.
The Super Eagles legend was chosen as manager of the side in August last year and helped them to qualify for their first Africa Cup of Nations in 39 years.
However, Tanzania had a poor tournament after they lost to Senegal, Kenya, and Algeria to finish at the bottom of Group C.
Ammy has now come out to assure Emmanuel Amuneke that he will not be fired.
His words, “Coach Amunike has done a fantastic job. It was not easy because he transformed our football,”
“After 39 years, he came in and changed things and always, when you change things, you change people`s mentality.
“It takes time. We will take care of him and keep him here to continue with the good work.”
“For some players who have been in the national team for a while, this may be their last outing,”
“In modern football, you need youth, energy and tenacity. So, we will evaluate our squad and give a lot of young players the opportunity to shine for the future.
“But time will tell what will be the fate of the old players. So, I hope if we qualify for the next Afcon tournament, we will do better.”
