John Mikel Obi, former captain of Nigerian senior national team,  has labeled former Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh as the worst coach he encountered during his illustrious career.

Oliseh’s tumultuous tenure as the Super Eagles head coach in 2015 is still remembered for various controversies, including his clash with goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, leading to the latter’s abrupt retirement from international football.

Speaking on his ObiOne podcast, Mikel vividly recounted Oliseh’s disruptive arrival at the Eagles’ camp, stating, “He came straight at us and Elderson Echiejile, and he said a few things. He said he heard there was a lot of player power with us.”

The podcast detailed the heated exchange between Oliseh and Enyeama, culminating in the goalkeeper’s departure from the team.

Mikel criticized Oliseh’s managerial skills, saying, “He (Oliseh) had absolutely no clue of how a manager is. He was a fantastic guy in his playing days, but as a coach, he was very terrible. He had no clue what he was doing.”

Highlighting the destructive impact on team unity, Mikel lamented, “The players never understood anything he was doing, and he did not know what he was doing. He was just confused because he just came in and destroyed the team’s togetherness.”

Mikel also revealed Oliseh’s bitter demeanor, noting, “The players never understood anything he was doing, and he did not know what he was doing. He was just confused because he just came in and destroyed the team’s togetherness.”

“His excuse when he got fired was that the people and FA did voodoo on him not to succeed. He was easily the worst manager I anybody, whether the physio or anybody,” Obi added.
