Gyan, I’m his statement made
“Mr President, Ministers of State, members of the board, fellow Speakers, nananom, niim3, naam3, I want to take this great opportunity, a stage that is difficult in every footballer’s career, a moment all footballers do not wish, but when nature dawns, that thin voice will keep echoing into the ears … IT IS TIME … that voice has been clear in my ears, and I have succumbed to it, IT IS TIME TO HANG THE JERSEY AND BOOTS IN GLORY, as I retire officially from active football,” Asamoah Gyan said.
The former Sunderland forward continued but then again, I am minded by views shared by great businesses men and sporting gurus, “YOU DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LOVE.”
In his retirement statement, Asamoah Gyan stressed that he will together with my management continue encouraging and pushing young talents as they did recently with BABYJET U16 AFRICAN TOURNAMENT where 1,200 young players across West Africa exhibited their talents on live TV.
” Again, I will put my experience and knowledge to use in the field of coaching, football business, and scouting. I want to thank my beloved country GHANA, my family, my colleagues from school, those from Colts and Blackstar from 2002 to date, club mates, coaches, and everybody who has played a role in my career as a footballer. I say Thank you…May God bless us all,” Asamoah Gyan said in his statement.
