The management of Osun United Football Club has rejected the resignation of head Coach Samson Unuanel, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report

Unuanel resigned his appointment with the Omoluabi Giants after a 4-2 loss to the league new entrants, Giant Brillars of Enugu.

The veteran gaffer, who has handled big teams like Sunshine Stars of Akure, Kwara United, Enyimba and many more alleged a gang up against him as the reason for him to throw in the towel.

“This is a pure gang up by some players and forces outside the team against me. It was a deliberate and planned attempt to sabotage my efforts. They have made me realised that there were banana peels on the ground for me. We were leading 2-0 in the first half but things fell apart in the second half when some players intentionally let loose of the ball cheaply to the opponents, who were practically dormant in the first half”.

“This means the environment is not conducive again for me because for a team to succeed, there should be unity among the players, the technical crew and the fans, which of course is missing”. I therefore thank Osun Government, the management, loyal fans and supporters for the opportunity given me to serve them once again as I resign my appointment forthwith”, concluded Unuanel while speaking with the team’s Media Officer in Enugu shortly after the match.

The management said his abrupt resignation, would be disastrous at this trying period of the club.

The management assured Coach Unuanel of maximum support for him to get the team out of the current situation and to stand by him for detractors and saboteurs not to have their way.

The result means the Omoluabi Giants are without a win in 3 games and are now occupying the bottom spot in the Group B1.

They will on Saturday, 11th May, 2019 host The Oluyole Warriors at the Osogbo Township Stadium in what is tagged a South West derby.
