Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma has charged the new leadership of Heartland FC to work towards winning the league title and returning the team back to the continent, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Recall that Uzodinma unveiled former CAF Player of the Year, Emmanuel Amuneke as Heartland FC Technical Manager.  

He said: "We beamed our searchlight and we were able to locate Emmanuel Amuneke. He is an expensive coach but we struggled to plead and combining patriotism and love of state he agreed to take what we were able to afford. Heartland is a club everyone in the state is passionate about and a club we are all committed towards.

"One of the targets we are giving to the new leadership is that they must win the Nigeria Premier Football League title and also qualify for the continent. We are all specially committed in ensuring that Heartland FC becomes what it used to be. The days of Spartans FC and Iwuanyanwu Nationale where they occupied the top three positions in the league for several years."

The Governor disclosed that the new Heartland FC Technical manager will report directly to him to ensure that the club's operational activities goes on smoothly and devoid of unnecessary bureaucratic bottleneck.
