Seth Panwum, the Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority (NSA), has made a passionate plea for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to stop the trend of sacking struggling coaches of the Black Stars. He argues that this is not the solution to the problems that the national team has been facing.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Seth Panwum proposed that the GFA should consider offering the next head coach of the Black Stars a long-term contract. According to him, constantly dismissing the head coach is not the answer to the challenges faced by the national team.
“It can’t always be the dismissal of the head coach; that won’t fix the problem. Before the Afcon, certain FA officials were opposed to the coach because he was not their preferred candidate, so he did not receive the full support of the organization,” he said.
“I propose that the next coach sign a long-term deal, return to basics, and address the fundamentals. It is time for the FA to listen to Ghanaians because the squad is funded by taxpayers,” Seth Panwum stressed.
With the Ghana FA already setting up a committee to find a new head coach for the Black Stars within three weeks, the pressure is on to make a decision before the end of February.
