Amuneke has been out of management since July 2019 when he was dismissed by Tanzania.
Recently, he was snubbed for the Zambian senior national team job given to Serbia’s Milutin Sredojevic.
The 49-year-old is no stranger to the North African country having featured for five-times Caf Champions League winners, Zamalek.
And the management would be hoping the former African Player of the Year revives the club’s fortune, and ultimately avoids relegation.
