Former French international and World Cup winner Marcel Desailly has confirmed his intention to return to football as coach of Ghana, once current manager Claude LeRoy has finished his "great job".
Desailly, who was born in Ghana before moving to France as a child, retired as a player in 2006 and has spent his time since then as an ambassador for UNICEF and working on other projects, mostly with children.
The 39-year-old, who helped France win the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship two years later, ruled himself out of the Ghana job when it went to Frenchman LeRoy last year but next time he will be keen to apply.
"My time will come," Desailly told Reuters in an interview on Sunday. "Ghana has a good generation of players. We have Claude LeRoy, who is doing a great job.
"In the future, I will come back into coaching. My target for sure (is Ghana). After LeRoy, my time will come."
