Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has narrated how
former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel treated him in the early days of his
appointment.
Oliseh, a former Nigerian midfielder, spoke in an interview
on Elegbete TV on YouTube.
He said that Mikel ignored him totally in his efforts to
bring him on board after the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, had warned him
against inviting the then Chelsea star.
Oliseh was appointed Super Eagles manager in July 2015 and
the former Juventus star stayed in the position till February 2016.
“I sent messages to John Obi Mikel, but he never answered my
call. He never called me back. He totally ignored me and played the big ego.
”I went to London with my assistant to speak with Mikel and
Victor Moses. I gave them an appointment at the hotel, two teammates at the
same club. Moses came to the meeting, the other one refused to come,” he said.
