The coach told the news Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that he was resigning because the “they are
not ready to do my bidding’’.
NAN reports that Dike took over from
Bethel Orji on Feb. 28 following the club’s poor run in the 2015/2016 Nigerian
Premier Football League (NPFL).
He led the club for 11 matches with
the last against Lagos-based MFM FC on Sunday at the Agege Stadium where they
lost 0-2.
Reacting to Dike’s resignation,
Heartland Protocol Officer, Tonex Chukwu, told NAN that the club had yet to
receive a formal letter from Dike.
“I am just hearing about the
resignation this morning, it is news to me. Other journalists had called me to
verify same story too.
“The club has yet to receive any
letter of resignation from him, so, we will treat such news as mere
speculation. We did not employ him on the pages of newspapers.
“Courtesy demands that he writes to
the management of the club to declare his intension.
“ What I know is that he did not
travel back with the team from Lagos on Sunday after the March Day 27 fixture
against MFM which we lost.
“ After that, we have not heard
anything from him officially” he said.
Dike, a former Golden Eaglets Coach,
has also tutored Rangers International FC of Enugu, Nassarawa United of Lafia
and Taraba before joining Heartland’s bench.
