Amunike will join Carlos Alberto Parreira, Bora Milutinović, Alessandro Nesta, Andy Roxburgh and Marco van Basten in the group.

The group will be headed by Parreira, a FIFA World Cup-winning coach, who, along with Milutinović, holds the record for coaching the highest number of different teams (five) at FIFA’s showpiece event.
