Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has named Claude Le Roy as his favourite coach he played under.
Gyan played under the French gaffer during the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) hosted in Ghana.
The veteran manager who managed Black Stars for two years led Ghana to a third-place finish in the 2008 AFCON.
Gyan acknowledged the late Ghanaian manager Jones Attuquayefio, who discovered him but expressed his preference for Le Roy due to his man-management skills.
Speaking on YFM, the former Sunderland striker asserted that he felt relaxed under the experienced French football manager.
"Jones Attuquayefio took me from Liberty Professionals, gave me confidence, and I reached the highest level. But I've had a lot of great coaches. I had good coaches under whom I scored goals, and they also benefited from me. But the coach with whom I felt more comfortable because he gives you a role to play and guides you, I think it was Claude Le Roy," he said.
"He knows he is my favourite. He has my style. He will give you the confidence in the world to do anything you want to do," he added.
Asamoah Gyan remains the country's all-time leading goalscorer with 51 goals and Africa's all-time leading goal scorer in the history for the World Cup with six goals.
