Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has opened up on why he has yet to transition into coaching, despite holding the necessary qualifications to step into the dugout.
Widely regarded as one of Ghanas finest exports and a standout figure across Africa and Europe, the former striker says the demands of coaching require a level of commitment he is not prepared to give at this stage of his life.
In an interview with Citi Sports, Gyan explained that his current priorities lie away from football management, with his attention firmly fixed on business ventures.
The reason why I havent started my coaching thing is all about dedication. When you dedicate yourself to coaching, you will have time for the kids,” he said.
Although the ex-Sunderland AFC and Al Ain FC forward possesses a UEFA License B, he insists that coaching demands full focussomething he is unwilling to compromise given his other commitments.
I have a UEFA License B, but Im not into coaching because I have other businesses to attend to. Coaching is about dedication, and you have to focus and teach,” he added.
During a decorated playing career, Gyan represented Ghana at three FIFA World Cups2006 FIFA World Cup, 2010 FIFA World Cup and 2014 FIFA World Cupcementing his legacy as one of the countrys most influential footballers.
