Oumar Niasse: Ronald Koeman tried to DESTROY me
The Senegal forward blasted the former Barcelona manager
He accused him of taking his number, his locker, and sending him down to the U23s
Oumar Niasse has blasted former Everton manager Ronald Koeman.
“When Koeman arrived I was a real good target to destroy. He tried but I was strong enough to stay. I worked so hard so I had to stay in the Premier League," he told the BBC.
“For him to make me give up and go he had to do a lot of things that were not nice – taking my locker, taking my shirt number, take me out of the dining room where we eat, take me out of training and sending me to the Under 23s without a locker there.
“It’s very difficult. You need a very strong mentality to deal with that because you don’t have any respect in the club. Using the word slavery is too much but it is very difficult, that is all I can say.”
Koeman was sacked and Niasse is now the club's top goalscorer with six goals.
