“God Told Me I Have to Play”: Italian Legend Recalls Taribo’s Clash With His Coach
Italian football legend Taribo West recently recalled a clash with his coach, Marcello Lippi, during his time at Inter Milan. West claimed that God had told him he had to play in a match, but Lippi dismissed this claim, attributing it to a change in formation.
Despite this incident, West had a successful career at Inter Milan, becoming the world's most expensive defender at the time of his transfer in 1997. He went on to win the UEFA Cup and scored crucial goals for the team.
After retiring from football, West opened a church called Shelter in the Storm Miracle Ministries of All Nations in 2014. This story sheds light on the unique journey and beliefs of the former Super Eagles player.
