Just last year, Rahim Ayew was on the verge of signing for Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC, however, he failed to reach an agreement with the newly promoted side.

Rahim Ayew was a member of Ghana’s World Cup squad at the 2010 finals in South Africa. He has been unattached since leaving Asante Kotoko three seasons ago.

Rahim's thought at this point in time, as his career starts to wind down, is to become a head coach. In the short term, the son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele wants to become a player/coach as he finally prepares for his retirement.

And it seems the ex-Kotoko man has taken up the mantle as the head coach of division one club, FC Nania, a club owned by his father Abedi Pele.

Rahim, who is now a leading member of Nania FC technical team, has been managing the budding talents at his disposal since the 2016 division one season started in Ferbraury.

For players who love their game, turning to coaching career after retirement is the obvious next step.
