One-time Belgian league Goal King Tosin Dosunmu has given more insights to his appointment as a strikers’ trainer at his former club Beerschot.
Dosunmu, who was top scorer in Belgium with 18 goals in the 2005/06 season while playing for Beerschot, explained that his work with an U15 striker fetched him the job.
“I worked with a striker from the U15 and his trainer was impressed with his progress. I spoke with that trainer and then with Marc Noé (youth team coordinator). One thing led to another,” the 39-year-old Nigerian said.
But even as a trainer, Dosunmu has not lost his biggest asset – speed.
“I feel pretty fit. In training I still run faster than many of those young guys. Then they look at me with those big eyes and I start to laugh,” he said with a big smile.
He will work with the strikers of the U15 through to U21 teams at Beerschot.
