Veteran football administrator, Alhaji Karim Grunsah has waded into the debate of whether the Ghana Football Association should name an expatriate coach or local coach to succeed Kwesi Appiah as the head coach of the Black Stars.
According to him, the hierarchy of the Ghana FA must not use nationality or complexion as the main criteria in appointing the next coach.
In an interview with the Kumasi based Nhyira FM, the King Faisal Football Club owner said the country no longer possesses the calibre of coaches who won the AFCON trophies for Ghana hence the need to throw away the notion that local coaches bring success to the national team away.
“Let’s speak the truth to ourselves in this country and disassociate football from politics. Do we still have coaches with the qualities of the CK Gyamfi’s and the Osam Doudo’s in the country that we are crying for a local coach,” he asked.
“I have a firm belief that when we hire a competent white coach, things will turn around for our game because coaching is about what you have been able to achieve for yourself and not nationality,” said Alhaji Grunsah.
The Ghana FA have dissolved all the technical teams for all the national teams which has led to the exit of Kwesi Appiah.
