The Tanzanian team sealed a spot at AFCON 2019 with a 3-0 home win over Uganda in their last match in the AFCON qualifier on Sunday.
According to Nigeria’s Independent newspaper report on Monday, the victory gave the team three points which guaranteed them the second place in Group L.
The report added that the goals from Simon Msuwa, Erasto Nyoni and Aggrey Morris ensured that Tanzania got a top-two finish in Group L to book the Taifa Stars’ place in Egypt.
The last time Tanzania featured in AFCON was in 1980 when Nigeria hosted and won.
Amuneke, an AFCON winner for Nigeria, played 27 times for the Super Eagles and took over the Tanzania National team job in August 2018.
With this feat, he became only the second Nigerian coach after late Stephen Keshi to guide a country to AFCON.
