Ex-France captain Marcel Desailly will not apply for the vacant Black Stars coaching job with confidants saying he is disinterested. Ghana�s Sports Minister Mahama Ayariga visited Desailly at the Lizzy Sports Complex in Accra, a facility owned by the former Chelsea defender last month. The media swiftly linked him to the then newly created technical adviser position and but Desailly�s representative Jamil Maraby dismissed those rumours. He said the former AC Milan defender would reject an offer from the Ghana FA if approached. �The Minister visited Marcel Desailly�s Sports Complex and had discussions over how to improve facilities and infrastructure in the country,� Maraby told GHANAsoccernet.com three weeks ago. �There was no point in time that the job of technical adviser was raised. He [Desailly] has also not been approached. �But then even if he is approached, he will not accept the job.� Desailly has been linked with the Ghana coaching job since 2010 but has either withdrawn from the race or overlooked by the Ghana federation. It has been reported that ex-internationals Kim Grant and Otto Addo have applied for the job.
