Former Ghana international Michael Essien is not interested in becoming Black Stars coach anytime soon.
This has been disclosed by Nigerian journalist Lolade Adewuyi.
According to the journalist, he met Essien in Denmark while travelling to cover the UEFA Champions League game between Napoli and AC Milan and posed the question to him.
However, the ex-Chelsea midfielder who recently acquired his UEFA ‘A’ coaching license and currently works with Danish club FC Nordsjalland as an assistant has no interest in being in the dugout for the senior national team.

“On my way to Naples, had a long layover in Denmark where I met a legend of the game, Michael Essien,” Adewuyi tweeted, accompanied by a photo of himself with 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.”
Essien amassed 59 caps over a 12-year national team career.
