Ghana never paid me while coaching Black Meteors – Malik Jabir

Former Ghanaian coach Malik Jabir has revealed that he did not receive any salary during his tenure with Ghana’s Black Meteors (U23) team.

Despite facing numerous challenges during his coaching days, the veteran coach expressed his disappointment at being treated unfairly by the Ghana Football Association, as he received no payment for his services.

Malik Jabir served as the manager of Ghana’s Black Meteors from 2003 to 2005 before taking on the coaching role at Asante Kotoko in 2005.

Narrating his ordeal to Dan Kwaku Yeboah, the 78-year-old trainer said “I was never paid in the national team, never! Since you knew Malik in the national team, ask them who has paid Malik for even a month’s salary”, he said.

“From Ben, CK, and co, I was the next and was with them from atomic energy when we moved to Winneba. We were there and Ben left for Zimbabwe, leaving me and CK.

“I was the acting CEO and they brought in Addy and Jones. I saw a sheet with the names of Addy and Jones while I did all the jobs”, he added.

Malik Jabir played for Ghana at the 1968 and 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Mexico and West Germany respectively.

He also had coaching stints with Asante Kotoko, ASFA Yennenga of Burkina Faso, and with Kano Pillars of Nigeria as the Technical Advisor.
