In a Telephone chat with brila.net, Amunike said he was not sacked has been reported by some news media.
“I wasn’t sacked,” says Amunike.
The Owner of the club called us to a meeting to explain why we have not been paid and he suggested that we take a pay cut as their major sponsors have not been backing the club with funds,” Amunike told Brila.net
The former Eagles winger, however, appreciated the actions of the Club owners, whom he think is sincere, unlike some other club owners who will keep on beating around instead of putting things straight.
The 46-year-old led Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets to a fifth title at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup title in Chile but failed to lead the same set of players at the U-20 level to African Youth Championship in Zambia.
