Feature/Black Stars Coach Appointment
Today I am on those who always make the argument that no foreign coach has ever won the AFCON for Ghana therefore we should always employ an indigenous coach.
In 1963, the squad that won the AFCON has no foreign based player. Most of the players were from Real Republicans Team, Corner Stone, Asante Kotoko etc.
The coach was C.K Gyamfi
In 1965, the squad was fully dominated by local based players and their coach was the same C.K Gyamfi who was the coach who won it in 1963.
In the year 1978, the team was fully dominated by local players from teams like Kotoko, Hearts of Oak, Olympics, Hasaacus, Corner Stone etc.
Their coach was Fred Osam-Duodu
In the year 1982 which is the last AFCON Ghana has won was also dominated by local players with only the Captain of the team Emmanuel Quarshie who was then playing for Zamalek in Egypt.
The coach was C.K. Gyamfi
So based on the above we can justify that our decisions to appoint an indigenous coach to those tournaments was very appropriate hence almost all the players in those years were indigenous players.
However, our team nowadays are dominated by players who are plying their trade outside the country so the argument that no exotic coach has ever won AFCON for us is therefore a weak premises which makes the argument very weak and invalid.
If we are to appoint an indigenous coach, then we also need to go to the tournament with a team dominated by home-based or indigenous players.
Let us stop that racism and appoint a competent, tactical and a coach who is good in man management and can communicate effectively to his players and his backroom staff.
A coach that will be sincere in selecting active players into the team and not limping players and players who hardly play 90mins in their teams.
Not coach who are been influenced by superstitions and politically influenced but modern updated tactical coach who always learn new things.
Thank you
