'They can't control the team' - Ernest Thompson doubts local coaches for Black Stars role
Ernest Thompson urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Sports to not appoint a local coach for the Black Stars, but rather go for a well-established foreign tactician. He said that "For the next six months, I would not recommend appointing a Ghanaian coach. From my experience, they have not been able to effectively control their camp. We need a coach in the mould of a Mariano Barreto or Milovan Rajevac."
The Black Stars are searching for a new head coach following the dismissal of Otto Addo after a string of poor results, including a 2-1 defeat to Germany. Thompson insists that Ghanaian coaches have struggled to maintain control within the team and resist external interference. He also expressed doubts about former Black Stars head coach Kwesi Appiah, stating that "I don't think Kwesi Appiah has the firmness needed to control this team."
Thompson added, "At this stage, we are dealing with high stakes - the World Cup is not a playground like the Africa Cup of Nations." He believes that "We need a coach with strong authority, character, and a solid technical team behind him."
