Coach Daniel Amokachi of FC Ifeanyi Ubah of Nnewi has denied ever
calling for the sacking of the Technical Director of the team John Obuh. Amokachi
told the News Agency of Nigeria in
an interview in Awka on Saturday that the relationship between him and Obuh
remained cordial. He described Obuh as “a senior colleague in the coaching
profession, who encouraged him to join FC Ifeanyi Ubah.” Amokachi said he could
never have wished nor asked for Obuh’s sacking as their roles were not in
conflict. The ex-Super Eagles midfielder said the story about his advocating
for the sacking of Obuh was a figment of the imagination of the writer. “I was
embarrassed with the news that I have problems with Obuh. “He is my colleague
and he brought me into the team and we have been moving well. “I never told
anybody that and it is part of the reason why I do not like to talk to the
press anyhow. “Our jobs are defined and there is no conflict, so it is
unfortunate what is going on in the media,” he said. Also reacting, Obuh told
NAN that he was not aware of any ill feelings between him and Amokachi. “I was
surprised at the story, the allegations are quite weighty but to the best of my
knowledge, Amokachi and I are in the best of terms,” he said. He said the
success of the team remained paramount in their minds and his commitment to the
team remained strong and unwavering. Amokachi had allegedly demanded the
sacking of Obuh in an interview with africanfootball.com, over
accusation of sabotage.
