Fassou arrived in Paris penniless before carving out a living by working in telecommunications.
His own football career began in Guinea before he continued to play in France and he later went on to coach his three sons as well as the local children in Roissy-en-Brie.
'I played at a level that was lower than the one I wanted to play at,' Fassou told The Telegraph in 2016.
'I wanted my boys to play at the highest possible level. I was really hard on them when they were kids and that meant that they learned quickly.
'It got to the point where I was coaching other kids so they could give Paul a game when he was four, five, six years old. I was trying to bring them up to his level.'
