Following his retirement from professional football, former Ghanaian footballer Kevin-Prince Boateng is poised to embark on a managerial career.
As reported by acclaimed football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Boateng’s initiation into coaching will take place in the Baller League.
This league, conceived by German footballer Matt Hummels, a former teammate of Boateng at the German youth level, serves as the platform for Boateng’s entry into football management.
“Kevin Prince Boateng is ready for a new chapter after retiring, as he’s expected to start in 2024 as the new team manager in Mats Hummels’ Baller League. His career will turn into a new experience soon,” he said.
Boateng, concluding his playing career with Hertha Berlin, officially retired from football at the age of 35. The former Black Stars player shared the announcement of his retirement on Instagram.
“I LOVE YOU. But that’s a WRAP for me ???? Thank you, FOOTBALL, for everything.” Kevin-Prince Boateng wrote as he accompanied it with a video.
Boateng left an indelible mark on the global football stage by proudly representing Ghana in two FIFA World Cup tournaments.
During the 2010 World Cup hosted in South Africa, Boateng played a pivotal role as Ghana advanced to the quarter-finals. One of the standout moments was his goal in the round of 16 match against the United States of America, contributing to Ghana’s 2-1 victory and progression to the last eight.
Despite the promising journey, disappointment awaited as Ghana faced elimination in a penalty shootout against Uruguay, marking the conclusion of Boateng’s World Cup campaign.
