The management of Kwara United Football Club has rejected the resignation of its head coach, Abdullahi Biffo, urging him to return to his position after recuperating from eye surgery.
The Club's media officer, Jimoh Bashir, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Ilorin.
Biffo had, in a letter dated Oct. 29, 2021, addressed to the Club chairman, Kumbi Titiloye, tendered his resignation letter with November 30, 2021, as his last day of employment.
"Please accept this letter of resignation from my position as Technical Adviser/Head Coach of Kwara United Football Club.
"My last day of employment will be November 30th, 2021," Biffo's letter read in part.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that Biffo's resignation was necessitated by what he described as imbroglio between the leadership of Kwara United and the newly formed Kwara State Sports Commission.
NAN reports that the commission had queried him for not attending the budget defence of the Club.
Biffo said he received a letter of query from the Kwara State Sports Commission, claiming that the act breached the terms of his contract, as he was not directly employed by the commission.
"I received a query letter from the Kwara State Sports Commission, and as a professional football coach, I value working ethics and a well organised working environment.
"I am no longer comfortable working for the club any more," he said in the letter.
