But lately, the TV pundit for the Champions League on Swiss broadcaster Blue Sport has been speaking out in a way that he never has before.
Boateng's Newfound Faith
When asked about his religion, Boateng doesn't hesitate to share his beliefs: "I've found Jesus, faith. I read the Bible a lot. It's changed my life. Whatever you lacked as a child, the Holy Father fills you up with it. It's like my heart is beating for the first time again. I was baptized in the sea–that was pretty extreme."
God's Timing
Boateng believes that when you understand how God works, there are no more coincidences. During a trip to a church in Sydney for the first time in his life, the Holy Spirit struck him right away, transforming his life forever.
A Tumultuous Childhood

Overcoming Depression
During his time playing for Monza, Boateng went through a dramatic bout of depression. Confined to his bed for more than four months, he experienced a dark time, feeling empty and unsure of himself. But when he finally found Jesus, everything began to change.
Filling the Holes in His Life
Boateng used to search for love in material things like cars, parties, and houses, but he eventually realized that those things were just temporary fixes. In his current life, Boateng has made a conscious effort to give up beer and cursing, focusing on using his experiences to bring hope to others.
The Importance of Family
Finding forgiveness and healing has allowed Boateng to reconnect with his older son and gain a strong relationship with his younger son. And while things are still challenging with his ex-wives, Boateng is grateful for the peace he now finds in his life.
The Future is Bright
