Even if you are small you can achieve big things. Even if you are different you can belong. Even if youre not the best you can be the best. Like sunday early saying he wants to be the first african train its a coach the Top European League doesnt sound too hard right. If i give a do list of. Mates to get the coaching job. You should do this before you have like mr bailey here to learn how to kick it in the toughest courses of jamaicas capital. That even make me strong in life you know. And will be any become the first ethiopian to earn a professional contract in europe. I have. Thats more like it hold your head high believe in your dream and you can achieve anything no matter how hard welcome to kick off life against all odds. Makers. And welcome to america. Maybe not but they have. To meet. Thats a place. I want to learn more about he and of course more about his culture. Before meeting leon i hit downtown to talk to some locals. You know this is. Reggae music to my ears. But where is he from. I. Mean the gun is you. Know you i dont know jamaica. Meeting up with. Dreadlocks. She doesnt have dreads anyway well one brit. This could include. Sort of first thing i want to know is how its. Been ireland some jamaicans and you know a lot of it i would call trying to. Explain his nickname explain where did that come from. My dad gave me the name and we just started before. Hes just like yeah you know you know. Ive been i mean ive been from that ive been and chipmunk movie yeah lets see if he does. Everybody have been on the chipmunks until it was you know until it was chipmunk until it was chippy you know. But somebody said you know they have been close here. My life on ok no i love the moment so. So by the end of this interview ill be calling you chipping in this. Morning on this road landslide was no walk in the park you know when i look back on my life that i didnt go so at peace it wasnt easy and i mean it wasnt bad as well but. It was difficult times i was there with my mom and everything ive experienced a lot of things there that even make me stronger in life you know so next picture you relate to this. My life. And the only younger one will always be able to be guys and everybody see that the talent and yet it didnt stop me from playing with the big guys because i could actually handle the situation and ever since ive been playing with all of us ok and you still do now and now i know you make a very young age came over to europe a young. Right here. So this picture means a lot to me why because two or three pioneers who first came to europe we didnt have any experience of winter or nothing up tall and i remember we came with only one jacket to you and that must be crazy and we came through in the winter time was due in february when its really cold in austria no one we were young i was twelve thirteen thirteen we didnt have so much money we had to live off a budget sometimes we would have to read. For breakfast lunch and dinner just to go through the day and just know that yeah because we had a dream from we were very young. To become. One when you go back to jamaica although jamaica santa they call you the european jamaican or what you know they everybodys seen me as a jamaican of course everybody know that im doing it big in you but jamaicans are like because they never try to give up their culture. All right now staying on the theme of jamaican because part of this is just to help our viewers out there learn more about jamaica all jamaicans like reggae music. Is not true. Jamaican like reagan. So were kind of music do you like well of course reagan music because jamaica is my hometown and. Next to reggae in jamaica and thats the basically biggest thing right now in jamaica down. To you know yeah im line right now honestly im more of a bob marley fan i guess im in the same community here. So if you play dancehall music for your teammates here labor because they are like gonzo music. And the deuce them to it and they introduce leon to a bit of german culture to do you know. I read somewhere that you saying hes speaking from eating yams so the stereotype question here is all jamaicans can run fast. Growing food which would be. Potato. Those things so i think thats what. Makes us originally strong begun fast you know so have you ran with him yet have you tried to run ive never tried to run a team. Dont think on this at. All jamaicans or late when im here im never like that im. Always on time all it in jamaica its a different thing its a different culture i think it is true because most people are always late like they would tell you some stories youd never believe. Its hard for me to believe. Everything is irie i guess is that too much too much is yeah thats not so modern ok with everything good money everything good money every month so that means like everything is good money. Leon should be bay which has come a long way in his twenty years in plans to go even further i have. A lot more to go and this is. Always a learning process you know so im just going to continue on. In the future and so are Better Things and more things will come my head. I have a good time too lets leave labor couzin with bob marley.

Couldnt it was over and. Football is loved in africa. Break players have come from the continent and theyre successful everywhere they go but while the african coaches in europes top leagues we ask are they simply not given the chance. Very good job to go down to come on come on. Look at an african coach puts his team through its paces this is forty. A Traditional Club in the Dutch Second Division sunday only say is one of the first Football Players from africa to turn coach in the european league. To task ahead of me was herculean. If i give you the new stuff. To get. You through this before you have to realize by africans that. You have to do your best because youre not only question for you. Youre pushing for the continent you know because how would you do might influence how it might be given a chance because the problem i have my friend when i came was that i had nobody to me to. I had no. African coach did it let me try and do like this there was no. Why no successful african coaches in europe theres no shortage of talent from the continent on the pitch. A drug.

Sunday always a is an african people. But hes also well known across europe. He had a successful playing career in the bundesliga with cologne numberous adornment he also played for i. X. And eventis when he finally hung up his boots he completed his coaching badges in england its difficult getting the coaching badge just because. Several dispositions that are given to you if you are citizens to get those by just that you as an african might not get. The caps only say earn for nigeria what any use wears european internationals could use that is to skip some steps of the course. Graphic and its a long and expensive process. So i think thats a hindrance maybe why some african. First of all going to spend all this money and get this badge even if i get it im not sure im going to get a job anywhere in twenty fifteen only say became coach of the nigerian National Team but left after one year following i dispute with a nigerian f. A. Who took over otto pfister and think also german coaches with a long history of working in africa sunday only say believe that an african could do it to stephen keshi.

I dont know what the secret is to success but i can just tell you i can give you an idea of what i did i came from africa i saw different leagues different cultures different plane styles so i think thats. The Disick Wittes what i did here was that first i came i looked at the team. And i needed to have players who were hungry. Player the type who work. At the leagues poorest club only say makes up for lack of funding with hard work he is well on his way to becoming the first african coach to experience any real success in europe.
