Emenalo rumored for top Saudi league job

Posted : 13 July 2023
Reports indicate that former Super Eagles defender Michael Emenalo is being considered for the Director of Football position in the Saudi Professional League (SPL), which has recently seen an influx of financial resources.

The SPL's pursuit of Emenalo highlights their ambition to not only attract top players and managers but also secure experienced personnel in off-field roles. 

As the league gradually entices renowned stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N'Golo Kante to join teams in the oil-rich country, Emenalo's wealth of experience is seen as a valuable addition to the league.

Emenalo, renowned for his expertise in talent recruitment, is viewed as an ideal candidate to oversee football operations in the SPL. 

His successful tenure at Chelsea, where he held a similar role from 2011 to 2017, is a testament to his ability to make significant contributions. 

During that time, Emenalo played a crucial role in Chelsea's success across their men's, women's, and academy teams. 

He was involved in notable transfer activities, bringing in influential players such as Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, and N'Golo Kante, leaving a lasting impact on the club.

Following his time at Chelsea, Emenalo served as the sporting director for AS Monaco before transitioning into consultancy roles. 

Widely regarded as one of the best in his field, his expertise and vision would be invaluable in developing frameworks and implementing strategies aligned with the standards set by the world's leading football leagues.

In addition to his off-field accomplishments, it is important to note Emenalo's decorated playing career. 

As a member of the Super Eagles squad, he played a pivotal role in Nigeria's journey to the round of 16 in the 1994 World Cup held in the United States, showcasing his footballing prowess and experience at the highest level.
