Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan appreciates the public’s desire for him to coach the Black Stars but emphasises the importance of experience.
Despite holding a UEFA B coaching license, Gyan believes working his way up through the coaching ranks is crucial.
He acknowledges the public’s support on UTV, “I have secured my coaching license so anytime I want to venture into coaching, definitely I will do that.”
“I have heard people advocating for me to take up the Black Stars coaching job. For me, it’s a good thing and a great honour but in situations like this, we have to face the fact,” but highlights the need for experience: “What experience do you have in coaching?”
Gyan acknowledges his playing knowledge but emphasizes that “[experience] also counts.” He follows the example of colleagues like Laryea Kingston who are gaining coaching experience.
Ghana’s all-time leading scorer with 51 goals and Africa’s top World Cup scorer, Gyan seems focused on preparing himself for a future coaching role.
