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.

Thank God. That mumu coach, after parading 30yrs olds, he still fail to win any reasonable tournament.

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.

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!
