Former Sunderland forward Asamoah Gyan has sent a message of well wishes to Sunderland supporters following the start of his coaching badges.
The 36-year-old looks to embark on his own career away from his playing days, seeking his UEFA B licence at the Wales' Football Association.
Spending two seasons here in the north east, Gyan scored an impressive 10 goals in 34 appearances and will be remember for his wild celebrations along the way.
