Bamogo happy being Everton scout: No coaching plans for now

Everton's France-based scout Habib Bamogo says he's happy in his job.

The former Marseille striker has been working for Everton for the past year, mainly following the country's best young players.

Asked if he could yet leave the role to enter coaching, Bamogo says he's happy with what he currently has.

He told Foot Mercato: "Sincerely, today, I really like it. I'm not someone who can do something under duress so if I didn't like it, I wouldn't do it. And I can't project myself.

"Today, I like it so I do not ask myself the question of whether tomorrow I will do this or that. As long as I like it, I'm happy to do it, I'm happy to get up ... As long as I have this enthusiasm, I will continue."

Bamogo also said, "I was a striker, it's true, but I was there when there were exercises for defenders for example. I know how they work, I know how the midfielders work ... I played with very good midfielders, good defenders or even good goalies. The good players, whether attacking, midfielder, defender or goalkeeper, we see them, no matter what position we played."
