Michael Essien, a former Ghanaian midfielder, has reached another noteworthy milestone in his post-playing career by earning a UEFA qualification in football management.
Famous for his stints at Chelsea and Real Madrid, the former player has been working towards coaching certifications and can now add this football management license to his amazing list of accomplishments.
The rigorous curriculum, which comprised three in-person sessions and online modules, took Essien several months to finish.
He shared his joy on social media on Friday, November 1, about accomplishing this significant objective.
“My UEFA certificate in football management adventure is now complete. Thank you all for your assistance. My knowledge of the great game continues to grow. ##UEFACFM.
Essien is currently using his abilities as a Danish Superliga individual talent coach at FC Nordsjaelland, where he uses his wealth of experience and tactical acumen to guide young players.
