"Mr Onuora was relieved from his position on disciplinary grounds," Ethiopian Football Federation spokesman Melaku Ayele told Reuters.
"He was telling the newspapers that he had to clear a herd of cows off a pitch in order for the team to train. I'm not aware of a single pitch that the team trains in where you can find cows."
Ayele said the Ethiopian federation, which ended his contract on Friday, had also taken into consideration Onuora's sending-off against Madagascar in October, which led to him being banned for the game against Nigeria, and unflattering comments attributed to him by British tabloid newspapers.
