Former Nigeria U-20 Coach John Obuh Demands Salary! / Coach Obuh:why I Dropped Stanley Okoro / Obuh Final List For U-20 World Cup (2) (3) (4)
Obuh Resigns by buntercos(m): 2:07pm On Jul 05, 2013 |
Obuh, who led the team to a second round exit at the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Turkey, said he need handed in his letter to the NFF on Thursday morning. "I went in to the office on Thursday and handed my resignation letter to the NFF General Secretary," Obuh told KickOffNigeria.com . "I need some time off to think about my future and spend time with my family." Obuh has spent the last six years coaching Nigerian cadets, with one spell at Under-17 and two as Under-20 coach. He guided the Under-17 team to the final of the World Cup where they were surprisingly beaten 1-0 by Switzerland. He was rewarded with the Under-20 job, and won the African title in his first spell in charge, but saw his side knocked out in the quarterfinal of the World Cup. Two years later, the team looked a poor shadow of that side despite having returnees from that triumphant team. When they lost in the round of 16 to Uruguay, the handwriting was in the wall for Obuh, who eventually decided to throw in the towel. The former Sharks coach will now meet with NFF officials next week to work out payment schedule for his outstanding wages and allowances.

Chanchi you have aired my thots jare. I lost all respect for him when he became lazy and started recycling the last U-20 boys.I can't understand why Ajagun, Kayode, Edafe etc are playing u-20 a second time!!!!! When their mates such as Omeruo, Musa and Onazi have developed to secure a place in the senior team, Obuh is still claiming he needs to 'develop' them by making them play U-20 a second time. Shame on Obuh!!! Nigeria needs to realize the tournament is a wonderful opportunity to discover young players and develop them, a player should never be allowed to play age-grade competitions twice. I hope we learn from this and actually seek to use players in the proper age-grade to play this competition, afterall how old was Keshi and Henry Nwosu when they started playing competitive football. If Keshi had lied about his real age then he should be 70 years now (lol). Odegbami, Adokiye started playing for Nigeria when they were still university/poly undergrads, lets give the youth a chance and we will be surprised at how far they will go. 2 Likes |

Thank God that the nigerian under 30 coach resigns. What amazes me in him is his bentigol cap like that of a bicycle seat. Goodbye! good riddance! |

Thanx for your service but you discovered no real football gem apart from Omeruo. Your team never produced a midfield gem with skills. Seriously, I hated your time here. |
