He’s stubborn – Siasia opens up on Mikel Obi

Date:

Former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has revealed that Mikel Obi is stubborn.

Siasia disclosed this during a podcast with ex-international Emmanuel Babayaro and journalist Mathew Edafe over the weekend.

According to him, he finds it challenging to tolerate footballers who are stubborn.

“Mikel is a little bit out of my list; he is stubborn. I can not tolerate people like that much. The only good thing he did was that he came and played very well in the Olympics. He acted as a captain,” Siasia, a former Super Eagles striker, said.

Siasia, while in charge of Nigeria’s Under 20 football team, won the African Youth Championship in 2005, leading the same side to the final of the 2005 U-20 World Cup in The Netherlands.

He won Olympic silver and bronze medals while in charge of the U-23 team in 2008 and 2016, respectively.

Recall that the 56-year-old was appointed Super Eagles coach in 2010 and was in charge for one year before his reappointment in 2016.
