KENICHI Yatsuhashi has ruled out coaching in any country in West Africa after his shock and early exit from Federation Cup champions, FC Ifeanyi Ubah.
The Japanese-American terminated his contract with the rich spending club, citing interference by club officials after the Anambra Warriors suffered two back to back defeats during the Nigeria Premier League (NPL) Super4 tourney in Enugu last week.
"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 Twitter handle on Wednesday.
"I have had outstanding relationship with the players I worked with in Africa. "Neverthless, 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 valuable experiences 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."
