Triple African Footballer of the Year award winner Abedi 'Pele' Ayew of Ghana turns coach this weekend when Nania compete in the CAF Confederation Cup.
It will be unchartered territory for Pele and his second division side when they host Sequence FC of Guinea in the first leg of a first round tie in the second-tier continental competition.
Nania defied the odds to win Ghana's FA Cup last season, defeating Asante Kotoko 1-0 after extra time in the final after eliminating champions Berekum Chelsea at the penultimate stage.
"Winning the Cup was a great achievement," said the African star of two decades ago, whose playing career included spells at Niort, Mulhouse, Marseille, Lille and Lyon in France, Torino in Italy and 1860 Munich in Germany.
"We have conquered Ghana so now let us try and conquer Africa. This is a fresh challenge for everyone at the club. Our task is to prepare physically, mentally and tactically."
Sequence debuted in the competition last year and were not disgraced, forcing a 1-1 draw at two-time CAF titlists Africa Sports after a narrow home defeat.
Ghana dominated the first Confederation Cup, successor to the African Cup Winners Cup and CAF Cup competitions, with Hearts of Oak defeating bitter rivals Kotoko on penalties after both legs of the 2004 final were drawn.
