Former Ghana international, Yusif Chibsah, has told Adom TV how he was motivated to become a football\u00a0agent.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old is regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the country.<\/p>\n

Chibsah is now a FIFA intermediary after hanging his boots.\u00a0He now manages Kotoko goalkeeper, Ibrahim Danlad, among several local and international players.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to him, the players he mentored during his playing days inspired him to become a Fifa football agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was about to leave Ljungskile SK, I used to even mentor players while I was playing in Sweden. The likes of Majeed Waris, Daniel Amartey and some other players that I managed came to me and pushed me to this agency business,\u201d he said during an interview on AGOKANSIE NKOMMO.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey felt I am already doing a lot so why don\u2019t I go into it full-time so I gave it a thought and decided to give it a try and it worked because right away, players started joining my agency. I decided to go back to banking and business because that was what I studied.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy club at the time did not agree because I had two years left on my contract but we had an understanding and I left.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quizzed if the football agency pays, he said, \u201cI will say it pays. It is a job that you have two windows in a year so every six months, you are sure you can broker a deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not only money for me but the joy and passion is what drives me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Chibsah, who is a former King Faisal and Asante Kotoko midfielder, is famously remembered for captaining\u00a0Ghana\u2019s Olympic team, who exited in the first round of the\u00a02004 Summer Olympics\u00a0in\u00a0Athens, having finished in third place in Group B and was also the captain of the Ghana Meteors in the 2003\u00a0All Africa Games\u00a0in\u00a0Abuja\u00a0that won the bronze medal.<\/p>\n
