Oh you guys forgot last year that Oliseh fired the first salvo by telling the whole world that Nididi is better than Mikel.
Thats his opinion on them as a pundit. Whats wrong with that? Its purely football. So Mikel believes he is above criticism? No wonder he goes about trying to drag "most decorated" player with Kanu.

U are childishly wrong.

Olisa is and will remain a legend as far as Nigeria football is concerned.

Mikel has shown he hates anything Nigeria. From 2face to best players he named in Africa to his family members that called him out and now this.

His choice of words shows hates and sadist!

And u also, ur comment about Olisa is also suspicious.

Go and rest with little life shocked
You definitely didn't or haven't been following Oliseh's career till date.
Why do you think he parted ways with that Dutch club, Fortuna Sittard??
He literally had this same problem with his employer too, hence the reason he had to leave.

enyeama sounds like an egomaniacal proud fool. something that you could have diffused with humor ( yes oga we are the power people here but as you done come now we hand the batton to you << this kind of humor ), he escalated the situation and walked out on the team. proud fool
Then you definitely don't know who Sunday Oliseh is, dey deceive yourself there.
Ask yourself why he always end up messing up wherever he's employed as a manager. Is it that everyone there is wrong and Oliseh is the one that is always right?

Without you saying it we know you're saying the truth...

Oliseh was trying to prove to Nigerians that he was "the perfect perfectionist"

But the image he was trying to create destroyed him even till today...

Enyeama, Mikel even emenike have More legendary status in super eagles than him
I don't care if you hate Oliseh, but to say Mikel and Emenike have legendary status than him is just hate taken too far.




I can even forgive you if you mention Mikel, but to add Emenike to it is just the height of it. Who is Emenike beside Oliseh? Seems like you have taken too much wine.





The only legendary figure of the three is Enyeama.





As per the story, we all know Oliseh to be strong-headed. He was himself a rebellious captain and caucus leader who had a lot of player power/clout in the Super Eagles (who took after Stephen Keshi.) That was why he was forcefully sent into retirement in 2002 because even the NFF could not clip his wings.





Nevertheless, he was a technically gifted player. Arguably the best defensive midfielder we have had.

Thank you jareh, you get sense.
From that action, its clear they were already against Oliseh from the day he was appointed.
Not necessarily whatever he said to them.
Was his employers at Fortuna Sittard also against him from day one too?

I've known Oliseh for 31 years..
Fought Amokachi for the Captain's band..
Fought and insult a Minister as a player.
He got booted out for gross misconduct as a Super Eagles player.
Vile piece of sh1t!
By the way, his younger brother was banned for life,from Nigerian National Teams for gross misconduct and insubordination..
So obviously it is a family trait.
So yeah, I know a thing or two about that piece of work..
You're absolutely right dude. The family has ego problem.. I know of a family and an ex super eagle player who Oliseh and the brother Churchill treated so badly because he(an ex- super eagle player) was a young lad trying to make it to the top. They even sent the father of the young lad away from their compound when the old man came to inquire about the son's journey to greatness. Since Churchill was the Agent then.

Still didn’t read in all that why he was a bad manager. Was it tactics or ego management or training issues ?
Oliseh is egotistical, temperamental and has poor man management.

It was during Mikel’s era that they all became Super Chickens.

Nonsense

Black on Black, or shall I say, Igbo on Igbo hate LOL


Nonsense
shocked


I thought Oliseh was from Niger deltan, when did Ikwerre become Igbo? grin

You black people are ridiculous, so you want him to pretend to like the guy instead of saying what's on his mind? This is how y'all keep good foes and fake enemies around.

Oliseh was average?



I used to think like you until I watched tapes of the Green Eagles where Oliseh was throwing long passes from deep in Nigeria's half and he was making the ball go anywhere he wanted it to go. He would tidy up Okocha's lapses, and throw one long pass almost across the whole pitch and the ball would simply find any of Yekini or Amuneke or any of the strikers we had then.




He played in those days when the light was always heavily on strikers or attacking midfielders. Despite being a defensive midfielder, he was voted the third best player in Africa in 1998.

I think it's premier League post football career. Look at Rio, Michael oven, Neville's brothers, etc. becoming television warriors whereas their counterparts are managing teams

Okudiover:
Yes you are right. Oliseh wasn't better than the late Muda Lawal, Mikel, Okocha or Mutiu Adepoju. They have been many other fantastic midfielders in the past who had character and they weren't as quarrelsome as the conceited Oliseh
Stop mentioning Mikel alongside Oliseh.




Mikel is a baby midfielder beside Oliseh. It is disrespectful.





And to even say Mutiu was a better midfielder than Oliseh is laughable.





Or maybe you should tell us what Mutiu had over Oliseh in terms of depths and technicality.

Slymonster:
In football team, whether country or clubs. There are players are that way above and that's normal. How you manage them as a new coach is what is important. For me, he failed in that aspect.
You want to phase out certain players, you do it gradually and not on your first day because they will make your life a hell with failures.
Either you played football for a few clubs at different levels or knew someone that did because you have stated it all at the bolded part.

This was, is and always be the case. Any coach that doesn't respect that dynamic will fail and fail badly.

Oliseh was immature and that is surprising considering he was a (very good) defensive midfielder, a position I am fascinated by and one that required maturity and cool headedness as a mandatory attribute.

Mikel served his fatherland for 16 years and recently was in Nigeria promoting grassroots football but to you he has forgotten his root,just cuz he aired his view on Oliseh.
shocked


I'm not really concerned about their beef but these nairalanders are just pathetic, imagine insulting someone because of his accent — this is how Nigerians keep attacking me because of how I speak despite the fact I still speak pidgin proudly.

The dumdums have forgotten that English isn't our language, so why should I speak it their own way?

Another childish imagination grin

There are some football managers who did not last 1 month in their club.

Olise was very successful in his first Dutch club and he also lasted for long time there and achieved greatly with them.

Anyways, olisa will always be ahead of mikel and the last thing u will see is olisa responding to mikel's accusations and no big Nigerian former or present footballer will make any comment in regards to mikel's accusations. That will show u the gap. By the way, mikel is guilty of all his accusation too.

Happy 2024 to us all🍾

Oliseh won AFCON and was an integral member of the Super Eagles squad that qualified Nigeria to her first world Cup appearance, Mikel and those you mentioned can never touch Oliseh's legacy in the National team.
Except you started watching football in 2012.

Being a great player doesn't always translate to a great coach. Wayne Rooney for example
Re: Oliseh Was Bitter, Jealous & Clueless, My Worst Manager - Mikel Obi by firearcher: 10:08am On Jan 13, 2024
The fact that people cannot separate Oliseh as a manager and Oliseh as a player had caused this discussion to be all over the place

If you have been following Oliseh for how long some of us has been,you would have not been surprised by what Mikel said..
Garbage character as a player..
Garbage as a Coach..
Still doesn't give Mikel the right to talk like a parrot. Gosh!!!
Re: Oliseh Was Bitter, Jealous & Clueless, My Worst Manager - Mikel Obi by soccerlite: 10:34am On Jan 13, 2024
Lolzzzzz 🤣

Players Sha, Mikel said jealous

Oliseh one of the youngest of usa94, juvy, Dortmund

Well oliseh might not have better man management Sha
But

Any coach that doesn't subscribe to the antics from egoistic players is termed rude, jealous, etc

Eaglernorwich:
Oliseh was a disciplinarian
I think so too

He thinks it's football of his days where everyone trains matter your league

That's why you see home based and foreign based play together


But nowadays players don't subscribe to soccer discipline

They rely on promoted fame by media, ego, status, class

You now see that home based don't get invite

Cos foreign based don't want see dem around
