We Are Not Hiring Stephen Keshi As National Team Coach-Ghana Football Association
The Ghana Football Association (GFA), has made it clear that they are not interested in hiring Stephen Keshi as their national team coach.
Keshi, who was sacked as coach of Nigeria earlier this month, had told Happy FM in Ghana: “I would love to coach Ghana. Having the opportunity will be great.
“I have not spoken officially to anyone but I will love to lead this team.
“Of course if I get the chance to coach the team, the target will be
the Africa Cup of Nations. The country has not won the title in a long
time and I know Ghanaians are desirous of winning the cup.
“But like I said, we have to look at getting the job first. I want to coach the team if the opportunity is there.”
However,
GFA vice-president Fred Crentsil, says they have interviewed three
candidates for the vacant post already and one of them will emerge as
new handler of the Black Stars.
“Unfortunately, we are not
considering any other names and so Stephen Keshi – who we respect a lot –
will not be able to make it,” Crentsil told supersport.com.
“We opened a window for applications and it’s been closed for
sometime now. We’ve even shortlisted and interviewed three coaches and
we are in the last stages of sending a report to the FA Executive
Committee.”
Michel Pont, Juan Ignacio Martinez and Avram Grant are reportedly the three men in contention for the job.
