In an exclusive interview with Accra-based Hot FM earlier today, former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Lawyer Kwesi Nyantakyi, shed light on the recent struggles of the Ghana Black Stars. Nyantakyi, who led the GFA from 2005 to 2018, attributed the team’s poor performances to inadequate management rather than spiritual forces.
According to Nyantakyi, the Black Stars’ problems can be resolved through strategic planning and effective collaboration between the management committee and the coach. He emphasized the need for a well-defined plan, outlining specific goals and objectives, to guide the team’s preparations and decision-making processes.
Nyantakyi’s comments come at a time when the Black Stars are facing intense scrutiny following their disappointing performances in recent international competitions. While some have attributed the team’s struggles to spiritual forces, Nyantakyi’s assessment suggests that the solution lies in improving the team’s management and technical setup.
As a seasoned football administrator, Nyantakyi’s opinions carry significant weight. His tenure as GFA President saw the Black Stars qualify for three consecutive FIFA World Cups, between 2006 and 2014.
With the Black Stars set to face crucial qualifying matches in the coming months, Nyantakyi’s words serve as a timely reminder of the need for effective leadership and strategic planning in Ghanaian football.
