Former France international Robert Pires claims his former teammate Marcel Desailly has all the qualities to become the next coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars if given the opportunity.
Pires, 45, has back the former Chelsea star and believes he would be a good choice for Ghana after being linked a couple of times with the Black Stars coaching job before Avram Grant was appointed.
He was in pole position to land the job ahead of the former Chelsea coach in 2014 but eventually 63-year-old got the nod. Desailly was once more rumoured to be close to joining the Black Stars ahead of Kwesi Appiah's second coming last year following the departure of Grant.
The former Arsenal legend has revealed that Desailly would be a good fit for Ghana if given the chance due to his knowledge and experience about the game.
“I wish Marcel Desailly is given the chance to coach Ghana when the position becomes vacant," Pires, who was in the West African nation last week as the Premier League ambassador, told Starr FM.
"This is because he was a great football player and has enough experience to give good advice to young players."
"He also has the coaching badges so I think he can be the next coach of Ghana and will be successful as well due to his knowledge about the game,” he added.
The duo were members of France's squad that won the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
