Former Black Stars player Mohammed Gago is calling for the re-instatement of Kwesi Appiah as coach of the national team.<\/p>\n

The GFA and the former coach of the team agreed to mutually part ways last week.<\/p>\n

Both parties are expected to meet this week to agree on a severance package.<\/p>\n

However, in an interview with Citi News, <\/b>Mohammed Gago called for a change in mindset towards local coaches and insisted Kwesi Appiah needs a second chance to prove his worth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t we save money, bring one of our own to handle our national team. ..Let\u2019s have patience and deal with our own,\u201dhe suggested.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”GvQgntCSswO6m4h9eal7ORA4PaNwDW1U”]\u00a0According to him, challenges that the Black Stars is battling with is not caused by the Coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the same people around who don\u2019t want \u00a0the coach around, who go around trying to cause confusion between the players and the coach,” he said.<\/p>\n

He stated that Ghana has over the years failed to give local coaches that freedom they need to ensure that the team blossoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is high time we allowed our coaches to work for the future. Coaching football doesn\u2019t take a year or a two to get things together. Sometimes it takes a much longer time. I think they should give Kwesi Appiah\u2019s job back to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Sports Journalist, Nana Agyemang, has on the other hand urged the GFA to employ a local coach as a replacement for Kwesi Appiah.<\/p>\n

He said the attitude of resorting to foreign coaches to replace the local ones must be discouraged.<\/p>\n
