Former Asante Kotoko captain, Yussif Chibsah has expressed his disappointment in Black Stars head coach CK Akonnor for making the recommendation for an expatriate to be appointed as his second assistant.
Last week, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in an official communique announced that its Executive Council has agreed on the appointment of Dutch tactician Patrick Greveraars as a Black Stars assistant coach.
In an interview with Pure FM that followed, Exco member Dr. Randy Abbey revealed that the appointment was made upon the recommendation of Coach CK Akonnor.

Being engaged on the recruitment of the expatriate, Yussif Chibsah who wants local coaches to be handed chances to handle the national team says he is disappointed.
“For me personally I have been a bit disappointed because we have been fighting for local coaches all these while and we all stood by him [CK Akonnor] when he was given the nod. We were all happy when he brought on David Duncan. So at least we expect that there are a lot of local coaches here which I believe they will be capable of occupying the second assistant coach position,” the renowned player representative told Class 91.3FM in an interview.
Yusif Chibsah continued, “We are advocating for demystification. We are advocating for our own local coaches to be given the opportunity so if there is an opportunity then why do you go for a foreign coach?.
Patrick Greveraars, 45, is a UEFA License A holder with over 25 years of worldwide top football experience.
He is with the Black Stars in Rabat currently ahead of Ghana’s friendly encounter against Morocco on Tuesday, June 8, 2021.
