Boston University soccer coach Neil Roberts was not surprised at the success of former Terrier Michael Emenalo as a player and administrator for clubs in Europe. But Roberts was caught off guard by Emenalo’s rise to assistant coach at Chelsea FC.
Frank Dell'Apa writes how Roberts watched Emenalo grow from a young player into a coach at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

“We stayed in touch, we made contact once a month,’’ Roberts said of Emenalo. “We were in touch in early September and we got to talking about football, which we very seldom have a chance to do. You could tell he wanted to get into coaching — it was in the back of his mind. He was doing the scouting for Chelsea and, once a week, he was on the field with the team going over the opponent for the next match. He really enjoyed that one day on the field.’’
