Kalou, Chelsea hero, declares his return to playing with SC Gagnoa

New SC Gagnoa owner, Tommy Tayoro Nyckoss, successfully persuaded Kalou to come out of retirement and join the club as their new player-director.

Kalou said: "I am going to get a player's licence, so that I can be part of coach Bernard Casoni's squad.

"And maybe if SC Gagnoa play against ASEC Mimosas or Africa Sports in the Ivorian Cup, I will take part in the game."
