“We are also in charge of the youth programmes of the country which is an added responsibility,” said Amuneke, who was a long-term target of Tanzania.

He said top target is to qualify the Taifa Stars for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

“As a coach you must have a target for yourself without anyone giving you a target,” Amuneke.

“The prime target is qualification to the AFCON 2019 and God will see us through.

“I am a positive person right from my playing days and I know with hard work and commitment from the players we can achieve our aim.
