“I never thought I would be a coach when I was playing,” said Essien.

“But I feel now I have a lot to give to the younger generation coming up, so I decided to learn more about being a coach and to explore this pathway.”

Michael Essien featured for the likes of Lyon, Chelsea and Real Madrid in an impressive career.

He is now part of the coaching staff at Nordsjaelland.
