Former FC IfeanyiUbah coach, Kenichi Yatsuhashi, has sworn never to manage in Nigeria or any other West African country.

The Japanese-American gaffer abruptly quit the club on Sunday barely one month into his contract.

He had previously worked at Ghanaian side, Heart of Oak, prior to his move to the Federation Cup holders.

However, Yatsuhashi opted to walk away from the Nnewi-based outfit after losing twice in the just concluded Super Four tournament – citing “too much management interference with team selection”.

“It came to the position where I feel my next destination is not in Africa, except South Africa and countries in northern part of Africa,” Yatsuhashi wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday.

“I have had outstanding relationship with the players I worked with in Africa.

“Nevertheless, I can’t change the environment. I can only work with the players. In order to work with the players, there must be a right environment.

“At this moment, I have a different priority in my career, and I will fulfill this priority in other countries.

“Africa gave me a valuable experience that is impossible for me to gain elsewhere.

“Also, I wish the best for players I have worked with. I will announce my next destination very shortly. I appreciate all your support.”

IfeanyiUbah are yet to officially appoint a replacement for the Japanese.
