“we don’t have contract with Black stars assistant coach Patrick” – GFA president explains

The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeone Okraku has disclosed that the association is yet to complete contractual talks with Patrick.

The expatriate has joined the football association as it’s tactician, however, is yet to sort out his contract issues with them.

According to the FA, he was recommended by the Black Stars head coach Charles Kwablan Akunnor as his deputy trainer.

Patrick resumed work weeks ago, working with the Senior National male team during their International friendlies against Morocco and Ivory Coast.

Okraku believes Greveraars has a lot to offer the Black Stars if he is eventually appointed.

“We have not made an appointment yet, but he comes across as someone who knows his business,”

“He was recommended to the council by the head coach, C.K Akonnor and he had a meeting with him before the FA met with him and we believe that per what we have heard and read via background checks, he has the capacity to offer something special to our team if finally, we are able to get hold of him”, he told TV3.

“I think from what I have seen so far, it’s been a positive addition to the team and we are looking forward to having further talks with him and having him work with Ghana in the shortest possible time.”

Ghana’s next assignments will be the African World Cup qualifiers in September where they will face Ethiopia and South Africa.
