Former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu says he has never taken bribe to influence player selection in his coaching career.
The experience trainer is currently the head coach of Ghana Premier League side, Legon Cities after ending his stint with the Black Stars in early 2022.
“Kwesi Appiah gave me the opportunity to be his assistant at the Black Stars. Truth be told, I have never taken money from any player to influence selection. Though, we don’t have much but I respect myself as a coach”
“We’ve being at where they are before so I can’t belittle myself to them. I don’t even know where the players leave in Accra here. The last time I went to Andre Ayew’s house people claimed we have been taking money from the players but these Black Stars players, from the least to the greatest, I have never taken money from them before, you can ask them”
“You can get me everywhere but to take money from a player, you will never get me because I respect myself and I am content with what I have. I was satisfied with the little bonuses I received at the Black Stars”
“I can say openly that, from Black Stars, local Black Stars and even club side I have never taken money to influence selection” he said.
