Super Eagles captain and former Chelsea star, John Obi Mikel has made a shocking revelation.

He said; “I have been in the bad books of Jose Mourinho because of my poor disciplinary record in his first season at Chelsea.”

“Mourinho benched me for fifteen games in the Premier League after I was red-carded against Reading during the 2006-2007 season.”

“Jose Mourinho didn’t play me for months after two red cards I saw for the first time. Then we had a great relationship with him. He was the one who brought me to the club.”

“Coaching is a very difficult job because you have to deal with a lot of high ego. You should be able to control and fight the big names with high ego.”

“Jose Mourinho is one of the best technicians who do this. He is very successful both tactically and in terms of human relations.”

“Even now we have a great relationship with him. You know Jose Mourinho, he is his own person.”
