DAMBA ADVICED LOCAL COACHES TO UPGRADE THEMSELVES TO THE LATEST TRENDS IN FOOTBALL.

 

The former Black Stars Goalkeeper’s trainer Abubakari Damba has adviced local trainers to embark on massive training and attachments to adequately prepare themselves for the coaching role of the Senior National side. 

 The GFA sudden dismissal of Kwesi Appiah after the World cup did not go well with some of the indigenous coaches, who still feel Ghanaian should lead the Black Stars. Avram Grant becomes the 22^nd expatriate coach to handle the Black Stars since 1957 while six local trainers have been given the opportunity to coach the senior national team, with Nana CK Gyamfi and Fred Osam Duodu being the only tacticians to win Ghana’s four trophies. Abubakari Damba believes local coaches must upgrade themselves to the latest trends of World football before taking up the Black Stars Coaching post

“We always want to have our own but is our own ready, is our own prepared to take up the mantle of coaching the Black Stars. I am saying that there will come a time that we will be capable of managing our own affairs but it must come with a lot of hard works, it must come with a lot of sacrifice on how they need to enhance themselves before they can get there. Yes they need to educate themselves further, they need to practice and go on attachments to get to that level. Take it or leave, football is changing every single day and we must be ready”.
