Coach Ratomir Dujkovic received $500,000 for qualifying Ghana to 2006 World Cup - Dr Kofi Amoah

Dr. Kofi Amoah, President of the GFA Normalisation Committee has disclosed how coach Ratomir Dujkovic was given $500, 000 for qualifying Ghana to her first ever World Cup finals in 2006.

Dr. Amoah, who worked on the Ghana Football Association management board in 2005 said the country had no money to pay $25,000 a month for a coach back then, therefore they arranged to pay the coach a huge sum of money after securing qualification.

"Coaches were charging beyond $16,000 which was the highest we could pay at that time. We called Dujkovic, who was then coaching Rwanda, told him we need him but we could only pay $16,000 a month," he said.

"But we told him if he is able to qualify us, he will be entitled to $500,000 and he did it," he told the media at the maiden meet-the-press session of the Normalisation Committee.

Ghana were desperate to qualify for their first ever World Cup finals in Germany and were ready to pay anything.
