Tanzania Fires Coach Emmanuel Amunike After AFCON Disappointment

Published on July 8, 2019, the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has announced the departure of coach Emmanuel Amunike, a former Nigerian player, after the team's disappointing performance in AFCON 2019.

According to TFF, the decision to part ways with Amunike was made after the team failed to meet its expectations in the tournament, which was held in Egypt.

Amunike's departure comes as no surprise, given the team's poor performance in the tournament. The team lost all its matches and failed to advance to the next round.

Amunike's tenure as coach of the Tanzania national team was marked by controversy, with many fans and critics questioning his tactics and player selection.

However, TFF has stated that the decision to part ways with Amunike was made after careful consideration and consultation with the coach.

Amunike will be remembered for his efforts to revive the Tanzania national team, but ultimately, his tenure was marked by disappointment and failure.

As the search for a new coach begins, TFF has announced that the new coach will be appointed after the Emergency Committee meeting on July 11, 2019.

Amunike's departure is a significant blow to the Tanzania national team, but it also presents an opportunity for the team to regroup and rebuild under new leadership.

As the team looks to the future, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how the new coach will shape the team's strategy and player selection.
