Atta Kusi, a former defender for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, has revealed his utmost regret of becoming a footballer.
Kusi, 32, featured for Kpando Heart of Lions in the 2023-24 season, where he only played six times for the Voltarian club.
Speaking in an interview on a social media platform, TikTok, Kusi lamented how difficult it had been for him as a footballer based in Ghana.
“I honestly regret playing football. It pains me that I didn’t learn a trade or focus on education. If I had, I’d be earning a better salary than what I got from playing in this country,” he said.
The former Kumasi King Faisal and Obuasi Ashanti Gold player also narrated how embarrassing it has been for him to always be at the mercy of his friends just to have little in his pocket.
“It’s humiliating to have to beg my friends, who are mechanics and electricians, for pocket money,” he added.
“I would advise all upcoming players to work hard and seek opportunities outside the country. It’s extremely challenging to build a successful career as a footballer here,” Kusi advised.
