"It is written in my contract that we need to get a certain number of points to qualify from the group and in the worst case scenario, I should tender my resignation," Challandes told the Armenian Football Federation's website (www.ffa.am) on Monday.

"I think it is fairly obvious to everyone at the moment, why I stepped down."

The Swiss took over as Armenia head coach in February last year. Armenia are bottom of Group I on one point.
