Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert has cited his wife�s ill-health as the chief reason for turning down the chance to coach the Black Stars.
The 38-year-old was hugely tipped to replace Kwesi Appiah but he shockingly pulled out of the ace after been short-listed for the job.
The ex-Barcelona and Ajax goal machine has revealed his wife�s healthy condition made it impossible for him to take up the role.
�At that time I couldn�t have taken another job because of my wife�s illness,� he explained.
�Now I�m ready to make a big jump for myself. I�m really looking for a club or a possibility in the near future to get a chance to lead training as a manager or work as an assistant to a very good coach.�
Kluivert�s wife, Rossana, was diagnosed with lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the immune system.
