Nigerian striker Blessing Eleke was insulted by a white coach who
called him a ‘black idiot.’ Marko Nikolac, is the man and he is the head
coach of Slovenian league leaders Olimpija, where Blessing plays.
The
reason for this was because Marko wanted his team to conserve time and
try to score a winning goal as they aim to reach the championship
playoffs. However, Blessing over celebrated when the team equalized.
He
has quickly apologized when the news went viral “I wish to apologise to
the to everyone - the President, the Sports Director, Blessing Eleke
and finally all fans of Olimpija for an inadvertent remark, which when
heard again on television later sounded very distasteful and worthy of
condemnation,” said the young coach.
“My only wish was that after
the equaliser on 92 minutes, we should try to get the winning goal. My
target is to reach the national championship playoffs and go on to win
the championship. I would like to thank all the team for understanding
that my remarks were not meant to be racist."
The club president
Milan Mandaric said; “The remarks of our coach were not racially
motivated. He just wanted to win the game,” he defended. “We are all
focused on qualifying for the championship playoffs and going on to win
the league.”
