Former Ghana international, Charles Taylor has slammed Black Meteors coach, Ibrahim Tanko following the team's shocking defeat against Morocco in the ongoing U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Ghana were humbled 5-1 by the host country in the second group game on Tuesday.
The defeat leave the Black Meteors in a difficult situation and must win against Guinea in their final Group A game later tonight.
Reacting to the team’s performance, Taylor, who is former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko attacker stated that, Ibrahim Tanko was among the many Ghanaian coaches who only seek eligibility by acquiring certificates rather than learning.
According to him, the coach’s choice of line-up showed his level of incompetence.
“Ghanaian coaches just go after the certificates without learning anything. If you look at the kind of defence Ibrahim Tanko set up for the game, it clearly tells you they don’t learn,” he told Angel TV.
“If you’re a good coach you would be able to build a formidable team within three weeks regardless of the unavailability of some of the players.
“The No. 7 shirted for instance was just terrible. Nothing showed that he was a professional player,” he added.
Ghana are still bent on making it beyond the group phase and eventually finishing in the top three in order to earn qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games to be held in Paris, France.
The game against Guinea will be hosted at the Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier with kick-off scheduled at 20:00GMT.
