During his time at Stade Lavallois, Aubameyang became so sick he could not walk. His then-teammate, Franck Leboeuf, claims that the malady was healed by a marabout with black magic after medical doctors could not cure him.
Post-playing career
Aubameyang worked as a scout for A.C. Milan.
In September 2018, he was reported to have become joint managers of the Gabon national team with Daniel Cousin. However, a few days later, his son, Pierre-Emerick, said he had not accepted the position. The Gabonese FA admitted they had made an error, and that Cousin was the sole manager.
