Talle said in Abuja that the coach had an agreement with the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) to take the team to at least the semi-final of the competition, which was not met.

Flying Eagles coach John Obuh[/caption]It would be recalled that Nigerian Under-20 team were ousted from the World Cup in Turkey after they lost 2-1 to Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
He called on other coaches to emulate what Obuh did, adding that: “if you did not meet up with the terms and conditions given, it is better to resign honourably than being sacked”.
According to him, even though the coach does not want to resign, the NFA will definitely remove him, so it is better he resigned honourably than being embarrassed.
“What he did was right; I feel that was the best decision because he did not fulfil his part of the agreement.
“I call on other coaches to do the same, once an agreement is breached and the condition for taking the job not met, it is better to resign honourably than being removed,” he said.
Talle said that lack of good performance by the players was the coach’s failure, as he had the duty of adopting better ways of improving the team’s performance.
“You are the one to select the players and if you do not select the players that will perform, it is your fault.
“For the fact that you have accepted the terms and conditions given to you, the success and failure goes to you.
“Whatever effort the NFA puts in during and after the competition is not recognised. The credit is always given to the coach,” he added.
