Former Ghana international Yussif Chibsah says Alhaji Karim Grusah wouldn’t be a management committee member of the Black Stars if education was all that was required to run football.
Chibsah was reacting to criticism of Stephen Appiah after he made a case for ex-footballers taking leadership roles.
Appiah has been in the news in recent days following an interview where he suggested there was a deliberate attempt to keep former players from occupying administrative roles.
The former Black Stars captain noted that many of his former colleagues are not being allowed to bring their knowledge to the fore, insisting football is not all about grammar.
However, Appiah’s position was subjected to criticism by some members of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
An Executive Council Member of the FA, Nana Oduro Sarfo, said the former midfielder has to first acquire academic knowledge if he wants a leadership role in the country’s football.
Many former footballers have leapt to the defence of Appiah, with Chibsah being the latest to back the ex-Juventus star.
“He rushed to pass those comments. All those talks were needless from Oduro Sarfo. What is so wrong with what Stephen said?” Chibsah told Angel TV, as quoted by 3news.
