Former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah wants Black Stars coaches to be handed long-term deals.
The Ghana FA in February appointed Chris Hughton to take over the Black Stars following the resignation of Otto Ado after the World Cup.
The former Premier League manager was handed a 21-months contract to steer affairs of the national team.
Adding his voice to contracts given to Black Stars coaches, Appiah asserted coaches come under intense pressure to deliver.
"it (a short-term contract) brings pressure on the coaches. Some coaches get one year, not even up to a year. Sometimes they get two years...When a coach is employed, he needs to get used to the players and study them”
“It is not like club football where you get to train with them every day. You get to play probably every six months, so it is true. Sometimes the contracts they(Ghana Football Association) give to the coaches are too short," he told Sompa FM.
The 42-year-old led Ghana to secure first World Cup qualification in 2006. He was also in charge when the Black Stars reached the quarterfinals of the mundial in South Africa in 2010.
