Emmanuel Amuneke has promised to help Heartland return to the top echelon of Nigeria football.
The former international was unveiled as the new Heartland head coach on Monday.
The unveiling ceremony took place at the office of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.
The Naze Millionaires were relegated from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) last season.
They compete in the Nigeria National League (NNL) next season.
Amuneke said his immediate task is to help the Owerri club return to the top flight.
“I am a someone with objective and I do not involve myself in something that I am not capable of doing,” Amuneke said at the unveiling ceremony.
“I remember when I was unveiled as the coach of Tanzania one of the things I told them was that we would qualify for AFCON 2019 but everybody thought it was a joke but eventually we were able to qualify them for the AFCON for the first time after 39 years.
“Please, be rest assured that we will make sure that with your support we will take Heartland FC back to where it used to be.”
