Godwin Attram wants to qualify Accra City Stars to Ghana Premier League after club takover

Former Ghana forward Godwin Attram has set sights on qualifying Accra City Stars to the Ghana Premier League after taking over the club.

Accra City Stars, which are based in the capital of Ghana currently compete in the Division One League.

Speaking in an interview, Attram explained the reason behind buying the club despite the difficulty in running and managing a club in the country.

"I feel the plan I have for the players and the academy should be different," he said.

"I have realized that the players should develop a little bit here by going through the ranks that is why I decided to get a Division One club and we try and qualify to the Premier League”

"Sometimes when you develop players and give them out to the other clubs there are a lot of factors that hinder them which also contributed to buying the club."

He added, "It is difficult to manage a team but if you have plans and structures I don’t think it will be too difficult."

"I will be happy to qualify to the Premier League immediately but it’s not easy. The team is currently placed in the fourth position just four points difference from the top. The second round is about to start and any team can qualify."
