Asamoah Gyan, a former skipper of the Black Stars, has declared Claude Le Roy to be his preferred senior national team coach.

Gyan has trained under a number of coaches. He made his Ghanaian debut in 2003 and retired in 2019 as the nation’s all-time top scorer.

Avram Grant, the former manager of Chelsea, Kwesi Appiah, and Milovan Rajevac, a 2010 World Cup quarterfinalist, are among these trainers.

But Gyan decided that the Frenchman was the coach with whom he was most “comfortable” while playing.

“I have played under so many good coaches, no disrespect, but the favourite coach I was very comfortable with, and I liked his style, is Claude Le Roy,” he told Onua TV.

‘He gives you all the confidence in the world. He makes players comfortable. He treats starters and bench players equally.”

At the 2008 African Cup of Nations, which was held in Ghana, Le Roy guided the Black Stars to a third-place result.
