Alhaji Karim Grusah, the owner of Ghana’s top division team King Faisal, has accused former player Ibrahim Tanko of failing to care for the team.
Tanko played for the Isha Allah club before joining Borussia Dortmund in search of better opportunities. He is currently the head coach of the Black Meteors.
Grusah claims that the 45-year-old coach left his childhood team to assume the position of technical director for the Accra Lions due to financial considerations.
The outspoken football administrator attacked Tanko harshly for not expressing gratitude when he needed him the most.
“Osei Kuffour has done his best. For Ibrahim Tanko, it was my brother who brought him to the team but at the time we needed a coach, he turned his back to us. He rejected us and accepted to be the technical director of Accra Lions because of money”
“Because I couldn’t afford his demands, Tanko also didn’t think about the good things I have done for him years ago” he is quoted to have said by FootballGhana.com.
Ibrahim Tanko is currently the technical director of Accra Lions who has been impressive this season in the Ghana Premier League.
