Head coach of Dreams FC, Abdul Karim Zito, has disclosed that he refrained from applying for the vacant Ghana coaching position due to his aversion to social media insults, especially from individuals he supports.
He expressed his belief that applying for the coaching role under Kurt Okraku’s presidency at the Ghana Football Association would expose him to negative comments from critics.
“If I had applied, people would say it was because Kurt Okraku is the GFA President; that is why I applied. So I decided not to apply at all,” he told Asempa FM, as monitored by footballghana.com.
“If you look at it, it’s like anything coming from Kurt; that thing is not good. Some people will go to social media; people that you can even take care of will talk trash about you and I don’t like that.”
Following the dismissal of Chris Hughton due to Ghana’s disappointing performance at the 2023 AFCON, the Ghana Football Association opened applications for interested coaches.
By the deadline, over 600 coaches had submitted their applications.
Despite the three-week period given to the search committee, no announcement has been made regarding the appointment of a new coach.
