News is he will be allow to choose future coaches and he totally will be running the show .
He has ask Monaco to set up something in Nigeria to get talent .

This ill not surprise me. I always felt that at Chelsea, he wasnt in a position to bring in Nigerians because of the whole work-permit issues. Lets hope at Monaco, our players get an open door policy there.

He is the best period,imagine if he was white and likes of Real and Barca will be going to war just to consult with him.
When you see a black man from Africa reach this level just know say he is the real deal.

Well done ME.. Wish him success in his new role.
Keep building an excellent profile.. Some trailblazing moves he is making.

Has he?

You want him to type it twice?

I'm so pleased if that is true but where did you get that information from ?

Buy Mikel during the transfer window Mike Emenalo is all I have to say!

Hmmm this guy has walked into a potential grease fire .... I will be watching this keenly

So he is no longer needing more time with his family?

Anyway no one is doubting his quality, only that going into a team in transition is a very dicey gamble especially as a black man in a very prejudiced industry that’s not used to people of color being In authority..... I seriously hope it works out for him ... just hope he will not be used as a scapegoat

That's what's up!

How is Monaco in "transition?" You think Monaco is like Arsenal that takes 12 years to transition?

They won the league last year and this year, they are joint-second to PSG, a team that went on to spend close to half a billion euros. Please, stick to your Arsenal. clearly, you know nothing about football outside Ozil and Ramsey.

He fits Monaco. Look at wealth of youth talent that they play.

Probably got the jist from his cousin.

Just read somewhere that he fell out with the owner and coach. Is that true?

Despite the concerns you raised, I totally disagree with your overall assessment of this move.
CFC is a perennial transitioning environment. When ME took the SD role at CFC, the club was starting to transition from core of Jose 1.0 team.

He has made the right gamble IMO. He is now at a club & league that fits his primary responsibility of building up a pool of talented young players.

Maybe we need to be reminded of how tough ME is. Avram grant brought ME to CFC in 2007 as an opposition/chief scout. Then replaces Ray Wilkins as assistant coach. Grant was fired and ME stays. Becomes CFC's technical director in 2011. Remained in that role till 2017 despite all the hiring and firing. My brother, you got to have confidence that ME sabi wetin e dey do..

Wishing him the very best. With him and the likes of Oliseh,
Nigeria is building a world class cadre of football intelligentsia.

He always comes across as being very intelligent during my brief encounter with him. His level of rapport and reasoning for me was only rivalled by late Uche Okafor....these two folks were no ordinary footballers. But i must still say he has exceeded all expectations, he has raised the bar!
