Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, has weighed in on the search for a new Black Stars coach following the dismissal of Chris Hughton.
Following the Ghana Football Association’s decision to part ways with the former Premier League manager and the entire technical staff of the national team due to the team’s disappointing performance at the recently concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ivory Coast emerged as champions, the quest for a new coach is underway.
However, Kyei Mensah Bonsu has voiced his opposition to appointing an established coach for the national team.
“Let’s not go for already made coaches because they don’t add value to the national team. The up and coming ones can help in building a solid team for the Black Stars. It’s time to dwell on the young ones as it was previously done” he said on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday.
The Ghana Football Association has received over 500 applications for the vacant Black Stars coaching position, indicating a wide pool of candidates to consider.
