I was sacked as Black Queens coach because I didn’t accept player influence - Kuuku Dadzie

Published on: 18 July 2023

Experienced trainer James Kuuku Dadzie says he was sacked as head coach of the Black Queens after refusing to be influenced by authorities in Ghana's football administration during his tenure.

The former Ghana international was elevated to the role as head coach of the Black Queens back in 2011 having led the Black Princesses for three years.

Speaking to Happy FM, Dadzie asserted the Black Queens performance better under his watch but was relieved off his post because he declined player influence by the hierarchy of the FA.

"It wasn't like during my tenure as Black Queens coach, the team wasn't performing. The team was performing. But regardless, I was removed as head coach. This was because the people in authority could not easily influence me. I just did not entertain such interference and I was seen as a threat," Dadzie explained.

Dadzie was relieved of his duties after the Black Queens failed to secure a spot in the African Women's Championship hosted in Equatorial Guinea in 2012.
