“The pressure on coaches in Nigeria is very, very strong,” deplored John Obuh after the Group B match at Ali Sami Arena in Istanbul. Currently, the coach of the under 20 years of Flying Eagles yielded to this pressure. He submitted his resignation letter to the federation of the country.

“I went to the office on Thursday and submitted my resignation letter to the NFF general secretary,” said Obuh to KickOffNigeria. I need time to think about my future and spend time with my family. “

At the head of the Nigerian Junior for 6 years, John Obuh led the group in 2009 in the quarterfinals of the competition which was played in Colombia. On behalf of the 19th edition, Obuh and Nigeria stopped in the fourth round and eliminated by Uruguay (1-2). This elimination has weighed in his decision.

“Our goal at this tournament was to do better than 2009, but I hope the next coach will go far”

But he added that Nigeria is full of many talents who can beat any team in the world.
