Black Stars goalkeeper Abdul Fatawu Dauda is optimistic John Paintsil has the abilities to coach any of the national teams in the coming days.
Paintsil was the assistant coach of South Africa side Kaizer Chiefs before returning to ghana to take over Wa All Stars as the head coach of the side before the 2019-20 Ghana Premier League, which kicks off on December 28.
They both featured for Ghana during the 2013 African Cup of Nations
“When we were in the national team, he was a nice guy and a motivator so when I heard he has started coaching, I said 'this man can coach, When he was playing, he played with passion. He is doing well, He is still learning and can coach the Black Stars someday. He is an asset for the nation."
“He knows me and know how good I am, he contacted me and told me 'Fatawu, I want to work with you. I want you to come and join my team, lets train and play games. If you don’t travel abroad then you play for me when the league starts'."
Paintsil, who featured for Ghana at the 2006 and 2010 Fifa World Cup tournaments, lined up for English clubs Fulham United and Leicester during his playing days.
