Former Real Madrid striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, has addressed speculations regarding his potential coaching role with the Togo Sparrowhawks, the national team of Togo. Currently in Ivory Coast for the ongoing AFCON 2023, the iconic Togolese player has unequivocally clarified his stance on assuming the position of coach.
Emmanuel Adebayor remains a prominent figure, both in Africa and globally. Retiring from professional football last year, the Togolese star left an indelible mark on the African continent.
Adebayor’s career trajectory included notable stints with clubs like Metz, Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace.
Having garnered recognition as the World Player in 2006 with the Togo national team, Adebayor played a pivotal role in leading the Sparrowhawks through various editions of the African Cup of Nations until his international retirement in 2019.
Since his departure, the Togolese national team has experienced a decline in its performance. With an impressive record of 32 goals in 88 caps and the African Ballon d’Or in 2008, Adebayor’s absence is deeply felt by Togo’s football enthusiasts, who aspire to see him contribute to the national team’s resurgence, akin to other football legends supporting their respective countries.
Currently serving as a consultant for the New Word TV channel during AFCON 2023 in Ivory Coast, Adebayor faced inquiries about his potential coaching ambitions with the Togo Sparrowhawks.
His response provides clarity on his current aspirations and role within the football landscape, offering insights into his post-retirement plans for contributing to the sport.
