Ex-Eagles star, Odiah turns taxi driver in USA

Former Super Eagles defender Chidi Odiah now faces life after football since he relocated to the United States of America(USA). Sources close to the player in Port Harcourt revealed to Express Sports that he had been working as a taxi driver since arriving the United States last year from his former base in Russia.
"Chidi has stopped playing and is now in USA.I heard he invested heavily in taxi business which is a reliable source of income over there. The good thing is that he bought two houses in US. He rented out one of them and he leaves in the other apartment. He should be comfortable because he made a lot of money when he was in Russia and he invested wisely with it both at home and abroad'', our source disclosed.
Odiah was sacked by his Russian club CSKA Moscow two years ago due to loss of form which family members claimed was caused by his marriage crisis. While at CSKA, Odiah helped the Russian club to win two League titles, five Russian Cup triumphs and the UEFA Cup(now known as Europa League)in 2005.The player struggled to regain his best form since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury while on duty for Nigeria at the 2006 African Cup of Nations.
