Former Super Eagles goalkeeper and manager of Albanian club TF Tirana, Emmanuel Ndubisi Egbo has qualified his team for the UEFA Champions League, becoming the first African coach to qualify a team for UEFA’s top club competition.

The 46-year old was appointed manager of Tirana in December 2019, following the resignation of Julian Ahmtaj when the team was eighth on the table.

Egbo played as a goalkeeper most notably representing TF Tirana, winning three trophies. He also played for the Super Eagles, playing 12 matches and representing Nigeria in two AFCON tournaments in 2000 and 2002.
