Mohammed-Awal Issah (born 4 April 1986) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Issah began his career by Real Sportive before signing a two-year contract with AmaZulu in the South African PSL in August 2007.

On 10 October 2008, he went to Serbia for trials with Red Star Belgrade and in December 2008, he signed a 4.5-year contract with the club. In mid-May 2009, AmaZulu contacted FIFA stating they had not received the full transfer fee for Issah from Red Star Belgrade. Later that month, Issah, together with teammate and compatriot Bernard Parker sued Red Star Belgrade for failing to fulfil financial obligations. In January 2011, Issah was one of eight players told they were surplus to requirements.

In the 2011 summer transfer window, Issah signed for Norwegian club Rosenborg BK.

On 25 January 2013, Issah joined Greek Super League club Veria F.C. on a 1.5-year loan contract. After half a season, the loan was terminated.

On 1 August 2013, Issah re-joined AmaZulu after almost five years in European football while AmaZulu agreed a transfer deal with Rosenborg. In February 2014, the club reported him to the South African Football Association claiming he had disappeared. Two months later, Issah was fined $170,000 for going absent and received a four-month playing ban.

International career

Issah was a member of the Ghana national under-20 team at the 2007 Toulon Tournament.

    Raymond Domenech’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

    Raymond Domenech Net Worth: Raymond Domenech is a former French football player and football manager who has a net worth of $10 million dollars. Born in 1952 in Lyon, France, Raymond Domenech began his senior career in 1969 with Lyon. He played right and left full back, appearing in 246 games with seven goals for the club over nearly a decade. In 1977, he moved to Strasbourg, playing in 128 games with four goals, and in 1981, he spent one season with Paris Saint-Germain. Domenech played for two seasons with Bordeaux and one season with Mulhouse before retiring in the mid-’80s. During the ’70s, he was part of the French national team with eight appearances for his native country and no goals. After his retirement, Domenech accepted a position as manager of one of his former clubs, working with Mulhouse until 1989 when he switched to managing Lyon until 1993. Following that stint, he headed up a local youth team for more than a decade before he was chosen to manage France’s national team in 2004. Domenech managed the team through the 2006 FIFA World Cup, making it all the way to the finals where the squad lost to the Italians in a penalty shootout. Four years later, the 2010 World Cup was disastrous for the French side, which did not make it out of group play with a single win. During the group stage, several French players boycotted practice and later Domenech refused to shake hands with the opposing coach following France’s elimination loss to South Africa. Many consider him among the worst football coaches in French history. Following the end of his run with the national team, Domenech spent one season managing a youth team before calling it quits.
