Former Sierra Leone defender Steven Caulker has taken a notable step forward in his coaching career by earning a UEFA A Coaching License.
The ex-Liverpool and Tottenham player, who captained the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone before International retirement, successfully earned his UEFA A Coaching License eighteen months after securing his B License.
Having completed his UEFA A badge with the English FA, Caulker is now focused on his coaching journey. He expressed his excitement about applying his knowledge on the football field.
“I am really proud to announce that I have obtained my UEFA A Coaching License. It has been a great 12 months of learning with an excellent group of individuals. Now, I am even more excited to begin my coaching journey and put all my learning into practice,” he stated.
Caulker, who played a key role for Sierra Leone during the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon, is transitioning from his playing career to coaching. He believes this path is the future for him and aspires to become a manager someday, with a desire to coach the Sierra Leone national team and promote an attractive style of football among young Sierra Leonean players.
The UEFA A License is the most advanced practical coaching certification available, building upon the technical and tactical knowledge covered in the UEFA B License.
This certification emphasises the development of individual players within units, as well as enhancing understanding of modern game trends, strategies, tactics, systems of play, and the principles of the England DNA.
