A firm believer in the need to constantly improve his knowledge and skills, Stephen holds the highest qualification available to the coaching profession, the UEFA Pro Licence. In 2001, he was inducted onto FIFA’s elite coaches’ instructors’ panel for which he travels the world delivering a variety of coach education courses for FIFA, as well as providing courses for and on behalf of the English FA.
Over the years Stephen has developed an extensive network of contacts worldwide, and these, together with his ability to absorb the culture of the countries in which he is working, and apply the benefits of his international experience, has provided the foundation for his success as a coach. Stephen firmly believes that it is important to be flexible and have an understanding of the people and the culture around you. As he embarks on his second adventure in the vibrant and exciting world of African football, Stephen is relishing the prospect of sharing his knowledge and skills, while at the same time continuing his life-long search for professional learning and improvement.
