"I'm so proud of myself never thought I would go all the way, but where there's way, there's a will," the former Bafana Bafana playmaker wrote on Instagram.
"Happy days, special thanks to all the mentors on the course and my colleagues for all the help and last but not least my wife Awa Pienaar for pushing me hard. God is great."

The 40-year-old, who is a permanent resident overseas, completed his course in Northern Ireland. However, he is understood to be staying in the Netherlands full-time as he is also one of his former side Ajax Amsterdam's youth coaches.
Apart from work, the former Everton maestro is very much in love with his wife Awa, who he married in a stunningly lush Moroccan-themed wedding last year. The Johannesburg-born legend values family time as he often posts up with his children on each occasion, including game nights and vacations.
