Veteran coach, James Kuuku Dadzie, has revealed the reason for his removal from the position as head coach of the women senior national team, the Black Queens.
According to the former Black Queens coach, he wasn’t easily influenced by authorities in Ghana’s football administration during his tenure, which eventually led to his exit.
In an interview with Happy Fm, the former Black Queens coach acknowledged that though coaches are influenced during player selections at all national team levels, it would take discipline to refute such interference.
“It wasn’t like during my tenure as Black Queens coach, the team wasn’t performing. The team was performing. But regardless, I was removed as head coach. This was because the people in authority could not easily influence me. I just did not entertain such interference and I was seen as a threat”.
Coach James Kuuku Dadzie served as the head coach of the Ghana women’s national under-20 football team from November 2009 to 2011 where he was later elevated as the head coach for the senior women’s team.
However, he was booted out after the female senior national team failed to pick a slot for the African Women’s Championship hosted in Equatorial Guinea in 2012.
