Coaching is about your CV, not your nationality - Alhaji Grunsah


Alhaj Karim Grunsah

Veteran football administrator, Alhaji Karim Grunsah has advised the leaders of the Ghana Football Association not to use nationality or complexion as the main criteria in appointing the next coach of the Black Stars.

The GFA is in search of a new coach after the exit of Kwesi Appiah as Black Stars coach and some Ghanaians including Alhaji Grusah believe that hiring a foreign coach should be the option since there is no competent local coach capable of leading the senior national team.

In an interview with the Kumasi based Nhyira FM, he said we currently don't have the calibre of the coaches who won the AFCON trophies for us so we should throw that notion of local coaches brings success to the national team away.

"Let speak the truth to ourselves in this country and disassociate football from politics. Do we still have coaches with the qualities of the CK Gyamfi’s and the Osam Doudo's in the country that we are crying for a local coach?"

"I have a firm belief that when we hire a competent white coach, things will turn around for our game because coaching is about what you have been able to achieve(CV) for yourself and not because of your nationality," said Alhaji Grunsah.

CK Akonnor wins dismissal case against Kotoko, Ghanaian giants ordered to pay compensation

Asante Kotoko are expected to CK Akonnor a hefty compensation after the former coach won his case for wrongful dismissal against the club on Monday. The Player Status Committee has ruled the Porcupine Warriors breached the terms of his contract. The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling.

National Circles Council (NCC) of Asante Kotoko have frowned on the statement released by WAFA Supporters Union that their outfit is not supporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in its efforts to end hooliganism. On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe. According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution.

A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, the supporters wing of the Red lad...
