I’ll stop Grant from excessive trips- Vanderpuije

Sports Minister-designate, Nii Lante Vanderpuije, has vowed to stop Black Stars coach Avram Grant from his constant stay outside Ghana.

According to the former deputy trades minister, this will help the former Portsmouth trainer familiarise with the local league.

The Israeli trainer has often been lambasted for spending little time in the country to monitor the Premier League talents and even meet Ghanaian coaches.

The former Chelsea Boss has only met Ghana Premier League coaches in an idea-sharing session once since taking over the Black Stars job in November 2014.

“It is my conviction that our local coaches have the ability to excel and do better than the foreign coaches. We have a foreign coach now. I don’t have a problem with Avram Grant.

“I think he is a wonderful coach but I am going to insist that he spends lot more of his time in Ghana to transfer knowledge and technical know-how to our coaches to build them up,” Nii Lante Vanderpuije told Morning Starr host Nii Arday Clegg Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars coach is said to be in England with family and was spotted on sky sports TV on Tuesday analyzing EPL matches.
