North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa launched a scathing attack on the credentials and skills of Black Stars coach James Kwasi Appiah after Ghana's disastrous campaign at the African Cup of Nations. which has just ended.
In what turns out to be AFCON's most expensive but most unproductive campaign in Ghana, where the Black Stars have fallen from the round of 32, the worst in the country's history for over 10 years, the State spent more than $ 4.5 million.
The abominable performance of the team was put squarely on the doorstep of coach Kwasi Appiah by many followers of the match.
Speaking to parliament earlier this week, Okudzeto Ablakwa stressed the need for the government to recruit a new, more competent coach to handle the Black Stars.
"It's not that the coach is a Ghanaian coach, that's why he's being criticized. I think that in Ghana many other Ghanaian coaches can do it. I would like to see many more Ghanaian coaches. If there is a better Ghanaian coach able to compete to help us achieve our dreams, why not. I do not think that in all Ghana, it is the only Kwesi Appiah that can lead us to the promised land. "
Kwesi Appiah has been offered a new contract by the Standards Committee at the expiry of his initial two-year contract. The new contract, according to reports, will end in December.
Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah told Parliament Wednesday that his team was waiting for a full report from CN on which a final statement will be made on Kwesi Appiah's future.
"The ministry has called the standards committee a full report, following which a study and a determination of what would have gone wrong will be made and recommendations made for the way forward for Ghanaian football in particular and sports. in particular".
The Sports Minister hinted that the coach was injured at the door when he said, "The head coach and team captain have repeatedly indicated that they have made the best preparations for all of us. the temperature. Indeed, all their demands were met and the team lied. "
