The management of Kwara United Football Club has rejected the resignation of its Technical Adviser/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.

Coach Biffo had, in a letter dated October 29, 2021, and addressed to the chairman of the club, Kumbi Titiloye, resigned from his job, picking 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”, the letter read in part.

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.

However, the board rejected the resignation, reminding him that he signed a three-year contract which needed to be completed.

“The management of Kwara United Football Club has received your resignation letter, and subsequently, has rejected same because it negates the terms and conditions in the three years contract you signed with the club.

“You are therefore, expected to resume after recuperating from the successful eye surgery you had, to ensure a smooth preparation of the club for the forthcoming 2021/2022 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season,” the statement added.
