“I am learning and growing as a coach”, Micheal Essien reacts after obtaining UEFA A coaching license

Ghanaian legend has announced the completion of UEFA A and UEFA Elite Youth A license.

The UEFA A Licence is one level below the UEFA Pro Licence and allows holders to be head coaches of youth teams up to age 18, reserve teams (also known as ‘B’ teams) for top-flight clubs, and men’s professional second-tier clubs.

In a post on social media on Tuesday, the Black Stars legend said he is excited he has bagged the license.

According to him, he will continue to work hard to learn and grow as a coach.

“Step by step, I am learning and growing as a coach. Happy to have completed my UEFA A and UEFA Elite Youth A license. Thanks to the family, @fawales,  my tutors, my mentor and RTD/FCN for the support. And big thank you to Tom Vernon and Flemming Pedersen,” a statement from Michael Essien on Twitter said.
