Emenalo leans on Faith

Thursday, February 10, 2011




Chelsea's Nigerian coach, Mike Emenalo, has broken his silence on the crude treatment being metted out to him by his boss Carlo Ancelotti at the club.

The USA 94 defender, who was appointed the club's assistant coach after Ray Wikins' contract was not renewed by the owner of the current English Premier League and FA Cup champions wrote on his Facebook wall that he would do his best despite being ignored by the Italian gaffer.

"Though Ancellotti doesn't consult me as other coaches do, I'll do my best and leave the rest for God," Emenalo wrote.
"Roman Abramovic saw potential in me before giving me the appointment so there is no reason why Carlo will consult with the goalkeeper trainer instead of his assistant."

Abramovic's decision to promote the under-qualified Michael Emenalo as Wilkin's replacement has also caused issues, while complaints have been made about fitness levels.A failure to qualify for next season's Champions League is a real possibility following Chelsea's worst run of results for over a decade. This would only intensify thoughts any players hold about an exit.
Emenalo, who has been with the Blues since October 2007, occupied the position of head opposition scout before being promoted to assistant first team coach and succeeded Ray Wilkins in the role. Chelsea say the move is in “recognition of his efforts”.
