Sports journalist, Saddick Adams, has opposed Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, Mark Addo, leading the committee set up to find Ghana’s next head coach after Chris Hughton’s sacking.
The five-member search committee is to evaluate and recommend a candidate to the Executive Council for approval.
Legal Practitioner and law lecturer Ace Ankomah (Esq.) will act as Vice Chairman of the search committee, with Director of Coaching Education of the GFA, Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, Ghana football legend Opoku Nti and William Caesar Kartey, Chief Director of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, as members.
In an interview on Angel FM, Saddick Adams, who has criticised the GFA since Ghana’s unexplained exit from the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), has called on President Akufo-Addo to kick Mark Addo off the team.
“You, Mark Addo, you just came but went for $100,000 and you cause the national team to collapse. He is no broker. He took $100,000 and brought Milo, who has stopped coaching and shepherding sheep in Serbia to come and coach Ghana. He collapsed it. You also brought the coach who has brought the worst AFCON performance at Cote d’Ivoire.
“You also say now you want to bring a new coach. What exactly is so special about Mark Addo. I like football so I won’t let anyone destroy it. Akufo-Addo, I cannot compel you but if Mark Addo will be made to bring another coach and pay him with my tax, then I leave him with you and I’ll show you that I’m nobody,” he bemoaned.
The search committee has three weeks to recommend the next Black Stars coach to the Executive Council for approval.
