Alex Iwobi reveals how Nigeria and Fulham’s coach reacted to his social media antics

Fulham and Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has revealed the reaction of both his club and national team coaches to his life outside of the football pitch, Afrik Foot reports.

The 29-year-old is one of the senior players for club and country, but has been very clear about making a name for himself off the pitch.

Iwobi has made music with some household names like Odumodublvck, while filming the off-pitch bond with his Super Eagles’ teammates during the recent AFCON diaries.

Speaking on the High Performance podcast, the former Arsenal midfielder revealed that both his coaches are fine with his music and lifestyle videos, as long as he delivers on the pitch.

“Everyone knows I like to play football outside of football, because I like to play with my friends. Every manager questions that, but I never get injured, so I enjoy it. I can’t help it, even if the intensity is very low,” the ex-Everton man said.

“With the music, my current manager Marco Silva, he doesn’t mind at all. There has been times in the gym where he’s bopping to my music,” Iwobi continued.

“For the snapchat videos, he mentioned as long as it’s not anything major or negative. He doesn’t mind as long as it’s positive.

“Even my Nigerian manager likes to get involved, he wants to be recorded. He’s been dancing on my Youtube, he likes it. I’ve never had an issue with any manager as long as I’m performing on the pitch, I can be me,” the Super Eagles star concluded.

Now maturing into his game, Iwobi added that he’ll continue making music even after he draws the curtains on his football career.
