Raoul Savoy has insisted that he quit as coach of The
Gambia for personal reasons and was not sacked.
The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) said on Saturday:
"We have a mutual agreement amongst the stakeholders to terminate the
services of Raoul."
But Savoy told BBC Sport: "I met with the [sports]
minister last Tuesday and after a long meeting I decided to stop."I decided to stop because I can't continue due to
personal reasons - the GFF never decided to sack me."
Savoy also rejected speculation in The Gambia that his
decision was prompted by a fall-out with Swansea City forward Modou Barrow.
"It was nothing to do with players, nothing to do
with staff and nothing to do with the people around the team," he
insisted. "I cannot resign because of a player - a player is a player - I
am the boss.
"Players have to follow my rules, my ideas and my
philosophy of football, if a player doesn't want this they stay at home. That's
it.
