Asamoah Gyan, Ghana's all-time leading scorer, has suggested that the Black Stars require a coach who will be resolute in making his own judgments and not submit to direction from the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
He believes that having a tough coach will put the Black Stars back where they belong and that having specific attributes could help the team.
Following Otto Addo's resignation from his position following the Black Stars' early withdrawal from the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Ghana FA is looking for a new head coach.
“We need an experienced coach, someone with strong credentials… Even if he is an inexperienced coach, we should be able to identify what the coach has taught the players in terms of their style of play,” he told Dan Kwaku Yeboah on YouTube.
“You can take an inexperienced coach, but make sure he understands the game, someone who will make the people understand his philosophy,” he added.
“Someone who can take charge, not someone who takes orders, you have to be strict and take charge of what you are doing,” Gyan added.
A new head coach is expected to be named before the Black Stars regroup for the next round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
