Marcel Desailly not in a haste to take up first coaching job
By Ameenu Shardow
Marcel Desailly insists he is not looking to immediately jump into coaching after turning down an approach from Swansea.
The 43-year-old ex Chelsea captain was heavily linked to filling the vacant managerial role at The Swans but rejected their overtures saying the time was not right.
Desailly, who was born in Ghana but captained and won the World Cup with France re-emphasized this position by saying he is pacing himself for the right time to take up his first coaching job and will only take it up at his own appointed time.
“At a point where the media will stop to anticipate I am a potential preposition,” he said in response to a question of when he decides to take up a coaching job.
“It is like every single time that there is a free place somewhere, then Marcel Desailly is potentially the candidate and he has rejected.
“No, it is not like this. There have been some discussion (about Swansea) but I didn’t like the idea of going quickly.
“I know exactly step by step where I am going and and when the moment will come.”
Desailly was in the running to become head coach of the Ghana national team when the position became vacant after the Black Stars’ successful 2010 World Cup campaign.
He however withdrew from the process claiming it was ‘over stalling’ but re-emerged as the preferred candidate when the job became vacant again after the 2012 Nations Cup but this time around, insisted he was not interested.

My friend u most take des job to prove de odds wrong.
Back and forth master
graet news 4 ghana.this guy comands huge respect anywhere he goes.
“UNTILL I SEE HIM COACH”
He’s no coach than a talking cricket. Who in this world lights a lamp and puts it under bed? You either let it shine in the dark or turn it off. Somebody should bring him b’4 me let me beat the fear out of him. If he’s not tide to a team by force, he’s never going to coach even an ant.
I think although he is good, the drive to coach is under nursing stage. With time the hunger would develop into fully blown passion to succeed in coaching.
Ghana will be the beneficiary if he turns out to be a top class coach. We are praying for you.
TWEEAKIA! DESAILLY WITH HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME, AND HIS PREVIOUS PLAYING EXPERIENCE ON THE WORLD CIRCUIT CAN DO A BETTER JOB COACHING GBSTARS THAT KWASI APPIAH. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND I STAND BY IT 100 PERCENT. JUST LISTEN TO DESAILLY WHEN HE PROVIDES TV COMMENTARY. HE IS CONCISE AND TO THE POINT. 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME, HIS ANALYSIS ARE ALWAYS ON POINT. THE GUY EVEN PREDICTED THAT ZAMBIA WILL WIN AFCON 2012 AND IT CAME TO PASS. DOES APPIAH HAVE THE BRAINS TO THINK LIKE THIS?
Has Akwasi Appiah stolen your fiancee? A loss to Zambia in away match is not disgraceful, if they had beaten us 3-0 then we can call for Appiah’s head. Even though Ghana played like kindergarten boys yet Zambia could only score one goal.
For your information Zambia is in dangerous situation more than Ghana.
The have played two matches with only one goal
They are third on the table.
Lesotho drew with Zambia’s masters
Lesotho could draw with Zambia because they are bad travelers.
Finally, they will come to Ogyakrom to receive a “warm welcome” from Kumasi fans.
Ghana is going to parade the most talented squad in our football history. Let’s just pray for AA to be bold in his decision, we have excellent players out there.
This is how almighty God enjoy watching us , This is a game we should enjoy the fun of it as a game . like Bob marley say : The biggest man was once a baby.
TIM, U ARE A DAMN FOOL. ASK YOURELF HOW MANY SHOTS GH HAD ON GOAL IN THE ENTIRE 90 MINUTES WE PLAYED ZAMBIA N YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HOW TERRIBLE AKWASI APPIAH IS. WE HAD LIKE NOT MORE THAN 3 SHOTS ON GOAL IN THE ENTIRE GAME.
