Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, says the three-time African champions are under pressure to win the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The gaffer said Victor Osimhen, the CAF Player of The Year, should not be placed under undue pressure to fire the squad to glory.
Osimhen, who finished as the top scorer during the AFCON qualifying series with 10 goals, is poised to lead the Eagles star-studded attack at the tournament as the three-time African champions begin their quest for a fourth title in Ivory Coast.
According to Amuneke, the Eagles squad is more important than any individual.
“I don’t think we should put any pressure on anybody, including Victor, there are 23 players in the squad and there is pressure on all of them to win,” Amuneke, who won the AFCON in 1994, said.
