Odibe eyes Super Eagles after treble glory in Cyprus 

After winning a rare treble in the Northern Cyprus domestic league otherwise known as KTFF Lig, Michael Odibe said it was about time to be recalled to the Super Eagles after the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The 30-year-old Odibe has only one international cap yet following his debut against the Lone Star of Sierra Leone in an international friendly in 2011 but reckons he deserves to be given a look-in by coach Gernot Rohr after successes with Magusa Turk Gucu (MTG) by winning the Community Charity Shield as well as the League Cup and Cypriot Cup in the just concluded 2018/2019 season .

“ This season with MTG is one of my best moments in Europe,” explained Odibe.“ I’m happy with what I have achieved because winning three trophies in a single season is not an easy task and I’m so delighted
that I contributed my part to the success of the team.”

The burly defender who had previously featured for clubs in Italy, Belgium and Ukraine in the past said he was looking forward to the opportunity of playing for the national team once again.

He said: “I have a strong belief that I can still play for the Super Eagles only that opportunity hasn’t come my way again.

I still wish to come back into the Super Eagles because I believe I still have something to offer.”

Meanwhile, Odibe who as an upstart in Italy with AC Siena, was on Nigeria’s 50-man provisional for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa has tipped the Super Eagles for glory in Egypt.

“ I want to use this opportunity to wish the current team all the best at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. I know the current coach (Gernot Rohr) can take the team to a greater height and it’s my hope that I would be able to join the team as soon as possible after their AFCON Campaign.”
