Heartland FC has announced the appointment of Emmanuel Amunike as their new head coach. The former Nigerian international, who last managed Egyptian side Misr Lei Makkasa in February 2021, will be tasked with leading the team back to success after their recent relegation to the Nigeria National League (NNL).

Amunike, 53, brings a wealth of experience to Heartland FC. His appointment has been met with optimism and anticipation among fans and stakeholders, hoping he can restore the club’s former glory.

Heartland FC’s relegation last season has left the team with a challenging path ahead, and Amunike’s leadership is seen as a crucial step in their journey back to the top tier of Nigerian football.
