Marcel Desailly has reiterated his desire to get in to coaching despite missing out on the Ghana national job. The former France international has opened the door to a sensational move to the UAE.
\nThe ex-France international declared his interest in the post as early as last September but was not successful as the Ghanaian FA finally appointed Serbian coach Goran Stevanovic on January 10.
\nDesailly hasn\u2019t let that set-back put him off management though and has indicated he could be in a post by the summer, possibly in the UAE. \u201cI withdrew (from the Ghana application process) because it was a bit too complicated, I don\u2019t want to say too much about it,\u201d Desailly said.
\n\u201cI will come back though maybe in Doha, or Dubai I will coach. From next year, June I am back. I am there.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, the Laureus World Sports Academy member revealed that he would have preferred to have seen Andres Iniesta, rather than his Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi, scoop FIFA\u2019s inaugural Ballon d\u2019Or on Monday night.
\nIniesta enjoyed a successful 2010, winning his fourth La Liga title before scoring the winning goal in the World Cup final to secure Spain\u2019s first ever triumph in the competition, but could only finish second in Zurich. \u201cI would have loved to have seen him (Iniesta) winning,\u201d Desailly said.
\n\u201cMessi is young and he will probably win it three or four times in his career but I like Iniesta because he\u2019s not a fully creative player he also has the ability to be at the service of the team, the collective. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I wanted him, like I wanted Maldini to win the award. It\u2019s the same approach and idea.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
