Black Starlets assistant coach, Nana Kweku Agyemang, believes Otto Addo is not so much of a problem for the Black Stars team.
As the coach of Vision FC, Agyemang thinks Ghana’s current woes goes beyond the headcoach of the senior national team.
Agyemang voiced his support for the current Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, stating that the team’s recent struggles should not be blamed solely on the coach. He emphasized the need for a more balanced squad selection, questioning the heavy reliance on foreign-based players.
“I don’t think the coach is so much of a problem. I think we as Ghanaians need to assess our challenges holistically. We have a league going on in Ghana, a Premier League,” Agyemang said in an interview with Citi Sports.
He went on to challenge the practice of fielding a majority of foreign-based players, asking, “Is there any country in this world that assembles all foreign-based players to play in the national team? Once you do that, it’s as if we don’t believe in our local league.”
Agyemang acknowledged the talent of foreign-based players but argued that local players should be given the opportunity to compete for spots on the team. “These foreign-based players are very, very good players, but I think we should find local-based players to give them a little bit of challenge in the camp,” he added.
