Appoint a young coach for Black Stars – Kwesi Nyantakyi tells GFA

Former Ghana Football Association manager, Kwesi Nyantakyi has entreated the GFA to appoint a young manager for the Black Stars.

He argues that appointing an experienced gaffer does not guarantee success and that a young manager willing to achieve greatness should be the way to go.

Speaking on GTV Sports plus, he referenced Harve Renard winning two AFCON titles while his boss Claud Le Roy is yet to win one as an example.

“When Harve Renard came to Ghana, his boss, Claude Le Roy had been in Africa since 1988 but he went ahead to win two AFCON trophies with Zambia and Ivory Coast,” Mr Nyantakyi said.

“The number of years the coach has worked does not guarantee success. I would prefer we go in for a young coach who is hungry and ready to work.

“If we don’t do that, then we will bring in someone who doesn’t fit into our system and I think this presents us with an opportunity but again, the number of years does not guarantee success,” he added.

The Black Stars are currently without a manager following the sacking of Chris Hughton. A five-member committee has been appointed to lead the search for a new manager.
