NFF President Amaju Pinnick, has advised history-chasing Coach Emmanuel Amuneke-led side to focus for tomorrow’s final with Mali, after finishing of Mexico 4-2.

“You convinced Nigerians you are the best and I want to thank you on behalf of Nigerians, especially President Muhammadu Buhari, for playing your hearts out and truly demonstrating the never-say-die Nigerian spirit,” he said amidst intermittent thunderous ovation.

“I’m extremely happy for Emmanuel (Amuneke) because he, along with other officials, have demonstrated that they are good fathers to you all and I’m glad that I was able to withstand the pressure to sack him when the team failed to win the African Championship trophy in Niger Republic.”
