Retired Ghanaian footballer Marcel Desailly has confirmed he will begin his active coaching career in 2015 in either Africa or Asia.

The 46-year-old who captained the French national team has completed his coaching badges for some time now but is yet to start practicing as a professional.

The 1998 World Cup winner now says he will be ready to start professional coaching next year with a club in either Africa or Asia.

“In 2015 I will be coaching,” he told Metro TV’s Sports File program.

“It will be a club side. Maybe in Africa or Asia – one of them.”

Desailly was once in the running to become coach of the Black Stars back in 2010 but eventually withdrew from the race.

He has been working with the French FA on a two-year contract in a concealed capacity.
