Ramblers coach Ali Akan has called for the resignation of Brave Warriors coach Tom Saintfiet, saying that it would be the honourable thing to do following Namibia’s elimination by Seychelles from the African Championships (CHAN Cup) competition.

Namibia drew 1-1 against the Seychelles in Windhoek on Saturday, but were knocked out 2-1 on aggregate after losing the first leg 1-0 in the Seychelles on March 13.
