  • Concerned Citizen: 1 year ago

    I do agree with you, (GHFUO). But As for the coaching issues that Black Stars are having, Ghana actually needs Coach Sillas Tete's caliber. In addition, the whole systerm of Ghana Black Sters required to be revamped.

    Stephen Appiah has no coaching credentials. He became a supermodel after football instead studying to be a coach . Such a disappointment. I was expecting so much from him

    I agree with this guy. Excellent submission.

  • KingKofi 1 year ago

    They can do the job we need for the black stars, they have the experience playing at the highest levels. If they succeed we all win because they are our own.

    The black stars needs an experience coach . Essien is not equipped enough to handle the stars. Please stop advocating for local coaches either. They are also not good enough.

    Bingo. You’ve nailed it. Football administrators must not have any interests in any agency, player or team. Must not have any symptoms of conflict of interest.

    Great, this trio can transform the team, in a twinkle of eye. Taylor has said it all. I have made this appeal long long enough, even before we went to the world cup.

  • Andy 1 year ago

    It is not a guarantee for success. The duo of C.K.Akunnor and Odartey Lamptey coached some clubs as a team with minimal success. CK Akunnor did not achieve much with the Black Stars.
