Published on: 06 October 2020

Former Hearts of Oak head coach, Mohammed Polo has noted that the appointment of an expatriate as the Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is a disgrace to all local coaches.

The country’s football governing body on Tuesday announced that it has appointed FIFA Coaching Instructor, Bernhard Lippert as its technical director.

“FIFA Coaching Instructor, Bernhard Lippert has been appointed as Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association for a period of two years”, a GFA statement said.

Speaking to Spice FM on the appointment, Mohammed Polo says it is a disgrace and disrespect to all coaches in the country.

“The Ghanaian style of football is ‘agoro’ and the new Technical director isn’t aware nor has no knowledge about it so I don’t know what he’s coming to add, change or tackle”, the former Black Stars forward said.

He continued, “Appointment of an expatriate as GFA technical director is a disgrace and disrespectful to all local technical men”.
