Obuh hints at exit

Head coach of the Nigeria Under-20 team, John Obuh has dropped the strongest possible hint that he may have managed his last game as Flying Eagles gaffer.

The Flying Eagles crashed out of the Fifa Under-20 World Cup on Tuesday after losing 1-2 to Uruguay in Istanbul with Obuh stating in a thinly-veiled comment that the defeat to the South Americans may be the last time he will sit in the team’s dug out.

“Our target at this tournament was not to leave the stage this early but I hope the next coach will take it from where I stopped,” he said.

Obuh had previously managed Nigeria’s Under-17 team, the Golden Eaglets.
He was also in charge of the Nigeria Under-20 side that reached the quarterfinal at the 2011 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Colombia.
