Franklin Cudjoe, Executive Director of IMANI Ghana has said that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has no \u00a0clue about how far it wants to take the development of football in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Franklin Cudjoe\u2019s comment follows the GFA’s confirmation that it has parted ways with coach Kwesi Appiah\u00a0and made Serbian trainer,\u00a0Milovan Rajevac the new Black Stars coach<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

A former chairman of the Ghana Football Association, Ben Kuofie, told\u00a0Citi News\u00a0Kwesi Appiah, did not deserve to be sacked<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on the\u00a0Citi FM\u2019s Big Issue<\/b>\u00a0on Saturday, Franklin Cudjoe said the way the GFA terminated the appointment of Kwesi Appiah was not the best.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”2WEunXF0v4ps8BHfMWZgahk6EetZ4iCE”]He \u00a0said although sports is one of the country’s tourism potential, the conduct of the GFA gives the country no hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly speaking, we are not doing anything in terms of sports development in this country. This country is so disjointed in every department and the sports department seals it. \u00a0Nothing gives me hope that the GFA is interested in developing sports in the country… There is no content, there is no futuristic visions about how to develop sports. It\u2019s just a matter of jokes all around,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

Prof. Agyemang Badu Akosa, a former Director General of the Ghana Health Service, has described Ghanaians as being \u201ctoo obsessed with Serbian coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Serbian coaches over the years have not been able to lead any country to win the World Cup, adding that there was no need to hire them.<\/p>\n

His comment follows news that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has\u00a0rehired Milovan Rajevac<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>as Coach for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth time Ghana is hiring a Serbian coach to lead the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
