Coach Emmanuel Amuneke has made history with the golden eaglets of Nigeria, becoming the first Coach to win the title outside Asia.
Nigeria won previous titles in China-1985, Japan-1993,Korea-2007, and UAE-2013 all in Asia. All attempts by other coaches to win the title outside Asia has proved abortive, as it almost looked as if Nigeria was jinxed to winning the title only in Asian countries.
The win also gave Nigeria an opportunity to win the title back-to-back for the first time, after winning it in UAE in 2013.
Amuneke was Pep Guardiola's course mate in Spain, where he did his Coaching course and acquired the highest coaching licence. He is among the very few Nigerian Coaches who posses the UEFA Pro A licence, others are Super Eagles Coach Sunday Oliseh, Mutiu Adepoju amongst others.
