Nigeria captain, Mikel John Obi has said that coaching
at his new club, Tianjin Teda is as good as at his former
club, Chelsea FC .
Mikel spent 10 years with the Blues working under top
class coaches like Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink, Felipe
Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez and Antonio
Conte.
The midfielder joined Tianjin Teda early this month and
is already impressed with the level of coaching at the
Chinese Super League side, as done by his new
manager Jamie Pacheco.
“I do not think there is a lot of difference in the level of
coaches now,” Mikel said, adding “I think (Jamie)
Pacheco is a high level coach, and he was a very good
player.
“Training is done very well, with a very high level.”
Mikel has already made three appearances for Tianjin
Teda in pre-season games against German sides
Borrusia Mochengladbach, St. Pauli and Romanian top
side Dinamo Bucuresti.
He was on target in his club’s defeat against St. Pauli
on Saturday.
