Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Isaac Amoako has disclosed he would have been a man of God if not for football.
The 38-year-old featured for BA United, Asante Kotoko and Dreams FC before he called it a quit in football.
He is currently the goalkeeper’s trainer of the Ghana national U-15 team and also the head coach of Nsoatreman FC.
In an interview with Sylvester Ntim of Koforidua based Aben FM, Isaac Amoako opened up on his career and disclosed he would have been a pastor if not for football.
“I did not struggle much at the beginning of my career because I lived in a Roman Catholic Mission House. I stayed with Pastors and so at a point they realized my passion for football was immense. So, one of the fathers, Rev John Nkrumah decided to help me achieve my dream of becoming a professional footballer”
He continued that, “I got the support at the beginning of my career. My dad when I was a child, so my mum relocated to Kintampo that made me move to the mission house”
“The pastors wanted me to attend a theological school but they realized my passion for football and supported me. If not for football I would have become a pastor” he said.
