Emmanuel Amuneke reacts to FIFA's decision to withdraw Nwakali's award.

Amuneke

Golden Eaglets manager,
Emmanuel Amuneke has said that FIFA’s decision to strip Kelechi Nwakali of the
bronze boot award given to him at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile should
be respected. The world governing body in a letter addressed to the NFF yesterday admitted erroneously awarding the no 10. player the golden boot instead of his teammate Samuel Chukwueze at the closing ceremony of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in
Chile.
“We have to
respect FIFA’s decision but I must let you know that our priority in Chile was
to win the trophy and I want to thank God that against all odds, we were able
to achieve that and anything after that is not really seen as a big deal. Since
they have admitted that it was a mistake, we have to leave it like that while
the two players concentrate on their career.
“I am sure they
still have a lot to achieve in life and I can only pray that the Almighty God
see them through.” The ex Nigerian player
told CompleteSportsNigeria.com
