Vincent Enyeama Sacked By Lille Via Text Message

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has been sacked by the new Lille coach, Marcelo Bielsa.

The Nigerian goalkeeper, who retired from the national team during the Sunday Oliseh reign as the Super Eagles coach, is among the eleven players sacked by the club’s new Argentine coach.

The coach was reported to have sent sms to all the players involved including Zambia’s Stoppila Sunzu, Tunisia’s Naim Sliti and Ivory Coast’s Junior Tallo revealing their services are no longer needed at the club.

The new manager was reported to have said that they are not part of his plans for the club. However, Tallo said:

“As for me, I’m under contract. I will respect the two years I have left. I’m in no hurry.”

The Ivorian while speaking to French Newspaper, L’Equipe added:

 “I want to establish myself at Lille.

“It’s the club that wants me to leave. We’ll see if they find a solution between now and the end of the transfer window. I’m calm. It’s a bit bizarre, but I’m handling it OK.

“I was informed like the others, by text. We’re under contract, the club does what it wants.” 

“We would have liked to have had a discussion. But it’s a business choice made by the bosses. 

Confirming the move, the Nigerian goalkeeper on Monday tweeted a photo with some of his fellow players who were sacked from the team and captioned it;

 “Always a pleasure to be back with the team.”
