Ghana legend Dan Owusu wants the inclusion of strikers’ coach in the Black Stars technical team in a bid to solve goal scoring woes.
Since Gyan's exclusion from the team in 2019, the Black Stars have had difficulty replacing the 37-year-old, with several players failing to fill his position.
According to Dan Owusu, the introduction of strikers’ coach in the national team will help solve the goal scoring problem in recent times.
“It will be prudent to get a strikers’ coach in the Black Stars team. Truth be told, the team lack firepower upfront and we turn attention to some former strikers to help solve the team’s goal-scoring problems” he told Koforidua-based Bryt FM in an interview.
“I suggested this years ago but everyone turn a death ear to it. I believe this is the time. I availed to help solve this scoring problems but I was never given the chance in the national team. I’m old now and can’t hold this striker’s coach position but I believe we’ve some top former strikers who can step in to support provided they are given the chance”
“When you to Europe, they use to employ strikers coach but that is not happening in Ghana and other African countries which is bad. We are the resource personnel to the national team because we’ve been there before, Ghana has produced top strikers like myself, Willie Klutse, and George Alhassan, and these are the people who could have helped the various national teams in terms of scoring”
“We have the likes of Asamoah Gyan and others who are not playing, I think it is about time we tap into their ideas to help solve this scoring problems” he said.
