Former Flying Eagles coach, John Obuh, has resigned as technical adviser of Nigeria Professional Football League campaigners, Akwa United of Uyo.
Obuh quit his post at the club with immediate effect following a disappointing eight-match start to the 2019/2020 NPFL season.
In a resignation letter addressed to the Chairman of the club and dated December 15, the coach regretted that his “decision to step aside was as a result of some level of discipline and insubordination by some of the players which has caused the team valuable points.”
Meanwhile the club has accepted the resignation with “mixed feelings”.
In a letter of acceptance, club Secretary, Comrade Omon Bassey, expressed the “gratitude of the chairman, for service rendered to the club during your short stay with us”.
Akwa United wished him well in his future endeavours “even as we daily strive to restore the confidence of our numerous fans worldwide, especially the government and good people of Akwa Ibom State.
“Yes, coaches take responsibility when things go awry, yet we can testify to the professionalism and discipline you brought to bear in the running of the club including your untiring belief in the God factor in the life of this great organisation. We will miss you.”
In another development and in a move to restore sanity, the club management has suspended one player indefinitely, while two are undergoing disciplinary related investigation.
