Legon Cities striker Asamoah Gyan eyes coaching role after fooball

Published on: 04 November 2020

Legon Cities striker, Asamoah Gyan has spoken about his future plans after ending his playing career with coaching, his next target.

The 34-year-old recently joined the Royals on a one-year deal ahead of the start of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.

Gyan, who is the top goalscorer in Black Stars' history with 51 goals, confirmed that coaching is something that he intends to pursue when he does eventually retire.

"Coaching is part of the plan. As people know I am also a business man but people advised me never to go out of football," he told BBC Sport Africa.

"I have to be in the game because I have done a lot in the game so it would be a bit shocking if I abandon it.

He added, "I need to get my coaching licence which is very, very important. Some of my old colleagues have started doing a great job in coaching, so I think it is a good thing.

"I think I can be a very good coach. I don't want to praise myself but the time will come."
