Former Deputy Youth and Sports Minister, Vincent Oppong Asamoah, has urged the Football Association to go in for an expatriate coach for the Black Stars.
According to him, the Black Stars which is mostly dominated by foreign based players to turn to work better with the expatriate coaches as they believe they are more experienced than the local coaches.
The Ghana Football Association dissolved all technical teams of the various national teams which meant Kwesi Appiah’s reign as Black Stars coach came to an end after his contract expired.
Oppong Asamoah in an interview on Ghana’s number one sports station, Happy FM said, “I support the opinion of getting a foreign coach. These foreign-based players believe they are more experienced than these local coaches.
“I know some of these foreign based players will agree with me that a foreign coach is the best option. I read somewhere that the GFA are considering former Al Ahly coach”.
He further said, the foreign based players do not respect the local coaches thus the need to appoint an expatriate.
“There’s no respect for the local coaches in the eyes of these foreign based players. We can go in for the best foreign coach and make a local coach as the assistant to learn from him”.
“Currently Kwasi Appiah is the best local coach so if we don’t want him ,then we should go in for a foreign coach”, he concluded.
The Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku in an interview disclosed that the various technical teams of the national teams were dissolved because they were not performing.
