Ghanaian coach Ibrahim Tanko is cooling his head on his shoulders after helping Cameroon book a ticket to next year's FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil.
The young trainer made history after becoming the first Ghanaian coach to help a country reach the mundial.
The former Borrusia Dortmund player who is now the assistant coach for the Indomitable Lions, saw his side demolish Tunisia in a convincing 4-1 victory in Yaounde.
Tanko who is likely to be part of the technical team in Brazil for Cameroon is delighted at his role in helping Cameroon achieve that feat.
"I feel very good, it is not only good for me but for Ghana as well and it's so great to become the first Ghanaian to help an African nation qualify for the World Cup,” he exclusively told Joy Sports.
"I played my part but the unity among the players also played a major role, we had a very good atmosphere when we came to camp.
"All the players knew what was at stake so they were all determined and at the end we were able to qualify."
