Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has opened up on why he is yet to venture into coaching, despite holding the necessary qualifications to take up a role in the dugout.
Widely regarded as one of the finest players to represent Ghana and a standout figure on the African continent, Gyan enjoyed a distinguished career across Europe and beyond, featuring for clubs including Sunderland A.F.C. and Al Ain FC.
Speaking to Citi Sports, the former Black Stars captain explained that coaching demands a level of commitment he is not prepared to give at this stage of his life.
“The reason why I haven’t started my coaching thing is all about dedication. When you dedicate yourself to coaching, you will have time for the kids,” he said.
Although he possesses a UEFA License B, Gyan stressed that his attention is currently directed elsewhere, particularly toward his business interests.
“I have a UEFA License B, but I’m not into coaching because I have other businesses to attend to. Coaching is about dedication, and you have to focus and teach.”
Gyan represented Ghana at three FIFA World Cups — 2006 FIFA World Cup, 2010 FIFA World Cup, and 2014 FIFA World Cup — cementing his legacy as one of the nation’s most iconic footballers.
