Belgian Tom Saintfiet , 40,  has quit his post as handler of the Malawi National Team after his side failed to progress to the final stage of African World Cup qualifiers.

Nigeria defeated Malawi 2 - 0 at the  UJ Usuene Stadium in Calabar on Saturday, a result that extinguished the Flames chances of qualifying for the play-offs.

''I don’t feel any pressure because (the Football Association of Malawi) had an agreement till midnight on Saturday.

“From Sunday morning, I have no agreement and that was clear so I am a professional coach and my future? That we will see in the coming weeks but I am not worried about that,'' Saintfiet told reporters.

Tom Saintfiet previously handled the National Teams of Namibia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Yemen and the Qatar Under 17s.
