Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has sparked excitement about a possible move into coaching after taking charge of a training session at Greater Accra Division 3 side Great Somas FC.
The former Sunderland AFC and Al Ain FC striker, who holds a UEFA B coaching licence, was seen stepping into a supervisory role during the team’s session at Accra Academy School Park, where he offered tactical instructions and technical adjustments to players.
Having been granted permission to observe and supervise the team’s training programme, Gyan briefly interrupted the session to share insights, demonstrating his growing interest in life on the touchline.
Footage of the moment was later shared on social media by Sammy Anim Addo, co-owner and Executive Chairman of Great Somas FC, who also serves as Gyan’s long-time manager.
His post on X quickly generated buzz among football fans eager to see Ghana’s all-time leading scorer begin a coaching journey.
“My coach, your coach, our coach @ASAMOAH_GYAN3 just started. The world can’t wait. Save this message and come back to me when he hits the road running… just watch this space,” Anim Addo wrote.
Gyan, widely regarded as one of Ghana’s greatest footballers, appears to be laying the foundation for a new chapter in the game after an illustrious playing career.
The 39-year-old remains deeply involved with Great Somas, where he serves as co-owner, Honorary President, and Lifetime Technical Director of the club’s academy setup.
If his latest involvement is any indication, Ghanaian football could soon see one of its biggest legends transition from goal scorer to coach — a move that would add another remarkable chapter to Gyan’s decorated football story.
