Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has warned of some dire repercussions should the FA follow the same old route to appoint a coach for the Black Stars.
He explained that the attempt by both government officials and the FA to propose separate coaches to take over the national team summed up the confusion the country’s football was going through.
Speaking to the Graphic Sports in an interview last Friday, the firebrand football administrator said the only way out of the current quagmire was to fall on a stop-gap coach while measures were taken to search for a substantive one.
According to him, during his tenure as the GFA boss, a similar thing happened when Coach Mariano Barreto abandoned the team midstream and he had to quickly appoint the late Coach Sam Arday as a short-term measure before employing a substantive coach.
“When Baretto left, we brought in Arday as a stop-gap coach and before he came Arday told me he could only work for a month after which we advertised for the position and brought Serbian Ratomir Dujkovic, who qualified us for the first World Cup in 2006,” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe recalled.
He urged the FA to adopt the same strategy and search internally for someone who could handle the team for a short period while spreading their wings in search of a substantive coach after the World Cup playoff in March.
