Former Ghana Football Association Capo, Kwesi Nyantakyi has lambasted Black Stars head coaches for allowing themselves to be influenced during national team call-ups and selections.
In recent years, the Senior National team has been alleged to have a criteria on which some players are being invited to the team.
According to some Ghanaians, national team selection has been the avenue for ‘agency players’, indicating some get into the team due to their affiliation with people in authority at the Ghana FA.
However, according the former FA boss Nyantakyi, it is the sole responsibility of the coach to conduct player selection and invitation.
In an interview with Joy Sports Prime Take, the Astute football administrator said;
“No coach worth his salt will allow somebody to dictate to him who should play and who should not play.
“If any coach did that, then he’s not a coach because as a coach, the responsibility lies squarely at your doorstep.” He concluded.
With the start of the 2022 World Cup lomming, Otto Addo have already submitted his provisional 55-man squad ahead of the Mundial.
Ghana is drawn in Group H, where they will come up against Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay hoping to go past the group stage once again.
