AS Vita head coach resigns immediately after Caf Confederation Cup defeat

The former Morocco international watched his team concede two goals in the opening 12 minutes against their South African opponents and also clashed with AS Vita fans during the first half at the Cape Town Stadium.

Ouaddou, who has been in charge of Vita since January, revealed he will not be on the touchline for the second-leg in Democratic Republic of Congo on 22 September, citing that he cannot work "when you are not organised".

He went on to add that his team only arrived in Cape Town hours before the match due to having issues with players' visas and passports not being ready.

Ouaddou told reporters: "I think we only started the game in the second half because in the first half we were still in the plane.

"In football, when you are not organised, when the things are not done well, when the things are not clarified, you have to build the performance.

"I think my players were still in the plane because we arrived at 4 o'clock in the morning. I don't know if you can imagine, 24 hours before the game, problems of visa, problems of authorisation."

Ouaddou further stated that he will not return to the DRC with the club and instead go back to his home in France to be with his family.

He added: "Next week, I think they will have a very tough game but without me because it was my last game here. As a professional coach I cannot continue in these conditions to come before the game, not 24 hours before, 14 hours before.

"With maybe four or five players missed in that team because of passport, it's a very difficult job for me. So it was my last game, I wish the best for my team next week because I think they can achieve it.

"I am going back to France, because I live there. It's finished for me, I cannot work in those conditions."
