Marcel Desailly<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Former France captain Marcel Desailly is eyeing a management role in Ghana football following the completion of his three million Euro Sports facility at East Legon.<\/p>\n

The 42 year old was named in the FA Search Committee\u2019s five man short list for the then vacant Black Star coaching position in December but redrew from the race after complaining of undue delays in the recruitment exercise as well as the need to concentrate on completing his two-year project.<\/p>\n

The Sports facility which is named after Desailly\u2019s late mother was officially commissioned last weekend. Speaking to ETV Sports, Marcel Desailly said he is now looking forward to a managerial role in Ghana football.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a bit more part of the administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see when you give me a target\u2026..I wanted to be a soccer player; I think I have done something ok for my football career.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea captain added that \u201cI wanted to set up this project; I have finished it and next is administration, management and marketing.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably I could have a role in Ghana football in that aspect but let\u2019s be patient.
\u201cWe are now trying to see and find out where Marcel Desailly today can be of help for Ghana football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Desailly\u2019s distinguished football career saw him win the 1998 FIFA World Cup with the French national team and Euro 2000. He also played with several major European clubs, winning several titles.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he has had discussions with the Ghana Football Association regards his aspirations, the two time European Champions league winner said: \u201cYes, no. It\u2019s not a problem. What is important is what is going to happen.
\u201cWe are working on it and we hope something good will come up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desailly added that his main motivation is to see Ghana\u2019s national teams progress \u201cI\u2019m not important, it\u2019s how the Black Stars perform and also we need to concentrate on the various national teams to allow them to perform and to get the winning mentality that we are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
