“If the Minister of Sports doesn’t also interfere with the sports system.
“Yes they are helping with money but people should stay in their place.
“The coach should be allowed to coach, the president of the Federation should stay in his position while choosing the guy in charge and giving him all the tools to succeed.
“Board members should not be allowed to infiltrate the team to cause confusion.
“It will take time for Ghana to win the Afcon but if everything is in place and everyone is able to stay in their position,” he disclosed in an interview with footballmadeinGhana.com
Ghana’s last participation at Afcon 2019 ended in a disappointing round of 16 exit at the hands of Tunisia
