Ex-Nigerian international and immediately past coach of the Tanzanian national team has revealed why he was sacked.

Amunike revealed that despite the poor showing of his boys, there were other reasons why he was sacked.

Explaining the other factors that led to his sack, he said the Tanzanian Football Federation (TFF) had decided they wanted an home grown coach.

“We talked about our contract, we looked at contents, and of course, there is always a common ground.

“They (TFF) say they want an indigenous coach. And of course, this business is about coming and going.

“I’m happy with my players, I’m proud of their achievement even in defeat. Morocco coach was relieved of his duty. Same also for Egyptian coach and Uganda. That’s how it goes and one has to move forward.

“I was somewhere before I came here (Tanzania) and of course, life is not static, it evolves so one has to think forward,”  he said.
