He said this when he was unveiled officially as head coach of the four-time AFCON winners ahead of the Black Stars’ 2023 AFCON qualifier against Angola on Thursday, March 23 at 16:00 GMT.
His first call-up had no player from the Ghana League called up to the Black Stars, raising concerns about the quality of Ghana’s top flight club football competition.
“From the day I started being involved with the Association [Ghana Football Association] which is about one year ago, I was made aware and stressed upon how important the local game is important to the Association and to us as technical staff…so I certainly will not underestimate them [Ghana Premier League players] where I think I can add value in my new role is that I will be spending more time in Ghana.
I will be watching more games, I will be attending to more clubs and getting to know the league far better. The only reason I wasn’t before was because our concentration was on the[2022] World Cup campaign,” he said.
