GFA wants Desailly to takeover Stars job

Credible sources close to XYZ Sports have revealed that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has contacted 1998 World Cup winner, Marcel Desailly to take over the Black Stars job.

The state-owned Graphic Sports reported on Wednesday that Desailly had been contacted to take over the Ghana national team but GFA, on Thursday, watered down reports that they were in talks with the former France captain.

However, reliable sources from the GFA have told XYZ Sports that Marcel Desailly has been contacted by officials of the FA and talks are underway for him to take over from the Serbian trainer whose dismissal will be made official in the next 24-hours.

The former AC Milan and Chelsea defender pulled out of the race for the job two years ago after being shortlisted by the FA.
