Heartland FC Technical Manager, Emmanuel Amuneke, has turned his attention to their upcoming matchday 14 encounter against Kwara United in Ilorin. This comes after his side shared the spoils with Rangers International in an intense Oriental Derby at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri.
Amuneke expressed his gratitude for the presence of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, who attended the derby despite his busy schedule. The coach commended the governor's dedication to the team, describing his presence as a testament to his commitment to the Heartland project.
"His Excellency's support is remarkable," Amuneke said. "For the governor to take time out of his tight schedule to cheer us on is commendable. It shows his genuine interest in seeing the team succeed. We sincerely appreciate his encouragement and say a big thank you."
Reflecting on the team's progress, Amuneke acknowledged their challenging start to the season but maintained optimism about their improvement. "We started the season on a shaky note, but we’ve identified what went wrong and are making corrections. It’s crucial that we didn’t lose today," he added.
Looking ahead to Wednesday’s clash against Kwara United, Amuneke emphasized the importance of preparation. "Now, we’ll go back, correct our mistakes, and focus on getting a good result in Ilorin," he concluded. With renewed determination, Heartland aims to climb the NPFL standings.
