‘I can never say no to Nigeria’ - Vincent Enyeama ready for Super Eagles return

The former Super Eagles star will return not as a player but as a goalkeeper coach to help in that department.

Enyeama, known for his remarkable contributions to the national team, including 101 appearances, hinted at his desire to impart his wealth of experience to the team's goalkeeping unit.

In a recent interview with Lagos Talks, as reported by Soccernet, Enyeama shared his thoughts on returning to the Super Eagles.

Enyeama said, "Becoming a goalkeeper coach, first of all, I’m not yet certified. If they want me to be like Zidane, who was not yet certified, but Real Madrid had faith in him, it can happen."

Emphasizing his unwavering loyalty to his country, Enyeama added, "I don’t have a problem if they wake up tomorrow and say, Vincent, come and be part of the setup- I will gladly do it. I can never say no to my country, I have always said that. 

“I can never say no to Nigeria. I will bring my experience over the years in Europe, and we will do it. But they have to call me first."

Enyeama's statement comes in light of the departure of Nuno Carrapato, who served as the goalkeeper coach during the last African Cup of Nations. 

With the position now vacant following the expiration of head coach Jose Peseiro's deal, speculation mounts about potential candidates to fill the role.

Enyeama could emerge as a strong contender should the Nigeria Football Federation opt for a new coach. 

However, the competition remains stiff, with renowned names such as Ike Shorunmu and Abideen Baruwa having previously held the position.
