Coach Yomi Elijah has said he resigned mutually his appointment with the management of Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Kogi United.
The former ABS coach on Monday quitted the side plum head coach position citing some personal reasons.
Elijah said he quitted the position to allow someone else to come in aimed at uplifting the fortune of the side in the ongoing NNL league season.
“I resigned my position as head coach on mutual consent and understanding of the management.
“I must confess that the management of Kogi United is wonderful, my sudden departure actually brought tears to their eyes.
“I resigned in absolute peace, there was no iota of dispute or problem between me and the management.
“I wanted the very best for the side and if my resignation will be reasonable sacrifice to bring the desired success I will be the happiest for it.
“I expected the team to be doing well in the league with the kind of efforts I put in but I discovered that the contrary is the case.
“We have good and quality players who can actually ruffle feathers and get results but we find it tough winning matches on home ground.
“The efforts I put in at Kogi United are child play compared with what I did at ABS.
“Yet positive result is far away in coming and I felt instead of staying on and nothing is coming in it makes sense to allow someone else to come in maybe the person’s luck could be a turnaround for the side.
“Maybe I’m not lucky enough to uplift the fortune of the side which actually was not really making me happy.
“Sincerely, I want the best for the side and my day will be made to hear that the side are winning matches.
“Let me equally take my own destiny in my hand to see if it can work well elsewhere,” said Elijah to supersport.com.
Kogi United have notched up six points from possible 18 in the six-week old Nigerian second tier league.
