He claimed the African Player of the Year title three times and famously provided the assist that helped Marseille secure the Champions League, making them the only French club to win the prestigious European trophy.Though retired, Pele remains in the spotlight as his sons, Andre and Jordan Ayew, carry forward his legacy, making their father proud with their achievements at the highest levels of football.Today, Pele is a proud father, travelling the world and sharing his invaluable football knowledge with the next generation.
