Essien not interested in ever coaching Black Stars

The former Chelsea player was asked by Nigerian journalist Lolade Adewuyi whether he would consider coaching the Black Stars in the future, but he declined.

Adewuyi said in a tweet that he spoke with Essien during a layover in Denmark.

Essien, a holder of two UEFA coaching certifications, is now the head coach of FC Nordsjaelland in the Danish Superliga.

“On my way to Naples, had a long layover in Denmark where I met a legend of the game, Michael Essien.

He’s now a coach at FC Nordsjaelland in the Danish Superliga. He recently got his UEFA A and UEFA Elite Youth Coach licenses.

Future Black Stars coach? He said not interested,” Adewuyi’s tweet accompanied by a photo of himself and Essien read.

Essien belongs to a Golden Generation of Black Stars players that qualified Ghana to her first World Cup in 2006 in Germany.

One of his contemporaries Laryea Kingston is into coaching (currently with the U-17) along with his big brother Richard who is currently a goalkeeper’s trainer for the Black Stars.

The skipper during Essien’s time with the team, Stephen Appiah recently commented on former players having to aspire to management of the sports.
