John Obuh has handed in his resignation letter, stepping down as coach of Nigeria\u2019s U-20 team.<\/p>\n

Obuh, who has spent the last six years coaching different youth teams of the country, sent in his letter to the NFF this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went in to the office on Thursday and handed my resignation letter to the NFF General Secretary,\u201d Obuh revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need some time off to think about my future and spend time with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had earlier given a strong hint that he is about to resign as coach of Nigeria\u2019s U-20 team.<\/p>\n

The Flying Eaglets were defeated 1-2 by Uruguay in the round of 16, at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and Obuh has stated that since he did not meet the given targets, he might step down.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur target at this tournament was not to leave this early, but I hope the next coach will take it from where I stopped,\u201d Obuh said.<\/p>\n

Obuh, who has been constantly criticized for recycling players, admitted that the country had a lot of talents at their disposal.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNigeria is a football nation blessed with a lot of talent. The players only have to focus and they will be world beaters.\u201d<\/p>\n
