2023 AFCON: Enyeama Clears Air On Role At Super Eagles

By Precious Oham

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has denied rumours that the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has given him an appointment as a backroom staff ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The speculations started after Enyeama posted a cryptic message on social media last week, writing “Let’s gooooo. See you in camp. Time for business.”

It also led to discussion among football enthusiasts and fans that the 41-year-old would be a goalkeeper trainer.

However, Enyeama has now confirmed he will only visit Jose Peseiro’s team and his comments were personal.

“I haven’t been given any appointment by the NFF, neither was there any such discussion. That was only a personal comment, meaning I will visit them in camp when I attend the AFCON.

“Any opportunity to encourage the lads, I use it,” Enyeama said.
