My dream would be to be the first African coach to coach a great European team. Just because we are used to taking our foreign brothers, but our foreign brothers never take us to lead their teams or their Nations. So, it's the little boy's dream that I have. And that's what I would like to do, "he added.
As a reminder, it was on his Instagram account that the 38-year-old announced on September 6, 2019, that he was putting an end to his rich football career.
