Franck Ribéry earns UEFA Pro coaching license

Former French football star Franck Ribéry has officially obtained his UEFA Pro license, the highest coaching qualification, following studies at Coverciano. This achievement follows his previous UEFA A and B licenses and qualifies him to serve as a head coach for top-tier professional teams.

In his thesis, titled ‘The football I want – between tradition and innovation, the search for speed’, Ribéry outlined a tactical vision centered on ‘allure’. He described this concept as a blend of charm, speed, and beauty in movement, comparing his ideal style of play to a ‘designer suit from a high-class tailor’.

Ribéry, who previously worked as a technical coach for Salernitana, has expressed a strong desire to pursue a coaching career in Italy, the country where he concluded his playing career with clubs such as Fiorentina and Salernitana.
