Stoke City legend Mamady Sidibe insists he can't see himself returning to the country of his birth after spending time playing in England.
The Frenchman, a former striker who hung up the boots back in 2015, now works as an ambassador and a scout for the club. He also helps his wife Bineta with the operations of French patisserie Cafe Melice.
“When I came to the UK, I didn’t speak English, the food wasn’t great, the houses were all made of bricks and I wasn’t used to that, the weather it was crazy – so I thought no chance I would stay here,” Sidibe told the Stoke Sentinel in an exclusive interview.
