GFA’s rush to appoint a new coach is a move to impress Ghanaians – Coach JE Sarpong

Veteran coach JE Sarpong has described Ghana Football Association’s announcement of a committee to search for a coach for Ghana as a rush and an attempt to impress Ghanaians after Black Stars’ shambolic performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. 

The country’s football governing body on Thursday, January 25 announced a five-member committee to search for a new head coach for the Black Stars.

The search for a new head coach became necessary after Ghana parted ways with Chris Hughton. Ghana failed to progress to the next stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. Black Stars exited the tournament with two points after three games.

“We have misplaced priorities in Ghana the issues that we have to tackle we don’t tackle them because never in the annals of football you have gone to a tournament and a coach you appointed didn’t perform,” he told Peace FM as monitored

“If he even performed he has to submit a technical report the things that went on in the team the good and the bad you present it to your management board before you take any action of sacking the coach if he performed then you retain him.

“You have gone to a tournament things didn’t work out then you immediately fire your coach you are pressing the panic button you are trying to impress Ghanaians that you are working you said we should sack we have done that,”
