The Nigerian football fans buzzes with anticipation as former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, dropped a cryptic hint suggesting a possible return to the national team ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Enyeama, revered for his remarkable tenure and over 100 appearances for the Super Eagles, surprisingly retired in 2015. However, in a recent social media post, the 41-year-old indicated his presence in Nigeria’s camp, signaling his potential involvement in the team’s preparations for the upcoming AFCON.
Having parted ways with the national squad amid claims of mistreatment and a lack of respect, Enyeama aired his grievances in subsequent interviews, even admitting to ceasing watching the Eagles’ matches.
The unexpected turn of events hints at Enyeama’s readiness to rekindle his allegiance with the Super Eagles as they gear up for the AFCON training camp in the UAE. His comment on the official Super Eagles’ Instagram account, responding to a post about the team’s AFCON preparations, exuded optimism and determination: “Let’s go, See you in camp. Time for business.”
The enigmatic hint from Enyeama has sparked speculation of his potential return to the Super Eagles, not as a player but as a goalkeeper coach. If realized, his reintroduction in a coaching capacity could provide invaluable guidance to the team’s goalkeepers, bolstering their strength for the upcoming AFCON challenge. As Nigeria eagerly prepares for the tournament, Enyeama’s hinted role as a goalkeeper coach adds an intriguing dynamic, fostering optimism among fans for his potential contribution to the squad’s success in AFCON 2023.
