“I have been coming to Africa for many years and once upon a time it was about looking for good African players to take to Europe this time it’s about imparting our values on all children even if they don’t want to be footballers but decent members of society.

“This is about giving children opportunities and instilling key values in them. These values include discipline, integrity and ambition,” he stated.
