If you will eschew corruption and all the vices that go with it. Get a foreign coach with the calibre of Klinsmann at any cost.

Until the 3rd grade coach is sacked and that corrupted GFA had been probed and dissolved, you can never ever rebrand Ghana football.

I do support your ideal of Ghana getting a foreign coach. I was once opposing the critics of Mr. AA but his inexperience was exposed during his first game by benching the top players and using the young ones,saying I want the Americans to get tired before bringing my top players. I think he don't really under stand what the world cup is all about. People talked to him concerning Kwadwo Asamoah being a play maker causing danger in the opponent defence but all fell in his stubborn ears.if we need revival then we need a coach like Klinsman

Kofi Ayariga,the Black Stars were superb in the first two matches despite the results.
However, the problem of the Black Stars had to do with the useless, greedy and good for nothing NDC infested management team that accompanied the team to Brazil.
As for Afriyie Ankrah, the writing was on the wall that he was going to fail in Brazil because he was deeply involved in corruption right from the beginning to the end. All the committees set up prior to the trip to Brazil were calculated to bring him financial benefits. For that matter, he threw caution to the wind and eventually disgraced himself.
If Kofi Ayariga wants to rebrand football in Ghana, then it is a non starter. He must endeavour to rebrand sports in general in Ghana by taking politics out of Ghana sports.
It is good that Elvis Afriyie Ankrah is out of the sports ministry before the women U20 world cup in Canada. He would have impregnated all the 23 women Ghanaian footballers before the end of the soccer fiesta. Disappointment indeed!

Presently, we as a nation, are paying
for Mr. Nyantekyi's failure to provide a coach who can manage affairs on and off the field with enough gravitas to hold these pampered Ghana international players in a patriotic mindset.
If the central role of the GFA is to run the local league and manage the national team, then why are we dealing with insubordinate players and an entire president coming out to give assurances to players before a game at the World Cup.
Did Rawlings, Kuffour or Mills(RIP) deal with any such "crap" during their tenures.
Who the hell are we kidding?
If Mr. Nyantekyi has any brains left, he would do everything in his power to bring Mr. Milovan Rajevac back to the national team as Coach and pay him well this time.
Kwesi Appiah is a good coach but he is inconsistent and lacks fore-sight in his tactics. His record with the Black Stars prove it. If you do not think so, then explain to yourself why he had to bring in Jordan Ayew and take-out KPB because the Germans took-out Jerome. Also, when we were ahead by two goals to one, the Germans brought-in Schweingsteiger and Klose to help them score. But, Appiah brought-in Agyeman-Badu and Wakaso, which showed that he was not willing to protect our lead by bringing on two additional defenders to shift our posture to a 2-4-4 formation with two additional defenders in the midst to protect our lead. Instead he was planning to beat the Germans by more goals and the changes he made proves his mind set. So, we were lucky to get the 2-2 draw in that game because the German forwards got stronger towards the end and got their equalizer.
Again, when we played the USA, Coach Appiah did not have a plan to salvage a draw game when the score was tied at 1-1 in the 83rd minute, instead the players were still trying to win the game and any fool could see that luck was not on our side if it had taken us more than 80 minutes to find an equalizer to a goal that was scored in the first minute.
So, when the USA scored a second time with a corner-kick, we were unprepared and we did not even have a pair of mid-fielders no either side of the goal post to help the keeper when they kicked their corner
So he should be kept as an assistant to Milovan Rajevac. Keep all the players if you want, they will not be revolting under him and Muntari can suck his thumb and shut-up.
Rajevac will keep all of keep them in check.
Ghana needs a coach who is grounded enough to perceive our areas of weakness and protect us but also strong enough to capitalize on our obvious potential for greatness.
So, Mr. Nyantekyi, I do not know how long the president is willing to let you keep hurting the nation with your cheap solutions.

The lesson hear for Mr. GFA is that we went to Fifa World-Cup 2006, lost to Brazil in the round of 16. Coach Ratomir Djukovic Salary $45000.00 Per. Month.
Then, we went to Fifa World-Cup 2010, lost to Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Coach Milovan Rajevac Salary $60,000.00 Per. Month.
Then, we went to Fifa World-Cup 2014, Did not get out of the group stage. Coach Kwesi Appiah Salary $20,000.00 Per. Month.
Lesson: You cannot climb a mountain with cheap equipment. Good football is expensive.

To rebrand the team you must have a new management: new coach, interview all the players, new GFA boss, action should speak louder than words.

YOU GUYS HAVE BLOWN IT TOTALLY IN EVERY SECTOR,AS THE WHOLE ECONOMIC INDICATORS SHOW.
But I WILL NEVER BLAME YOU GUYS ENTIRELY BUT:

AFARI GYAN AND ATUGUBA,WHO PUT MAHAMA THERE.
They have put the wrong person to try and do the right thing.
THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.
That is the whole point.

Pain teaches and tears correct.
Next time,Ghanaians will be very careful to do the right thing,in voting the right person to lead and rule them.
In the bible,the Israelites forced God to give them a ruler,at the wrong time.
He gave them SAUL,out of his permissive will,while nurturing DAVID(his perfect will)to be ,the rightful King.
At the fulness of time,DAVID was crowned the King,and was able to do better than SAUL.
It was out of his perfect will,this time.
We have all done the wrong thing by letting this NDC CROOKS,NAIVE,INCOMPETENT GUYS in.

A WORD TO THE WISE,IS ENOUGH.

Donot tell me our stars did poorly at the wc and so you are going to rebrand please quit the cheap talk we these rethorics before not once but several we all watched the games and saying they did poorly is way off charts they played well especially the one against Germany that drew we totally out played them and 2 to 1 till the last minute and if you watched against US same great play the last game with Portugal was where all the problems had started because you never told the guys the truth about their monies from the start.Really indiscipline was the bane of our problems.If you heard espn he said Ghana is the best soccer nation in Africa and a marvel to watch so please donot throw dust in our eyes because we all watched.Our boys never disgraced.Yes we could have done better than this but therewas breakdown of discipline.
