Committee to find new Ghana coach submits their reports; GFA to meet top government officials before unveiling

The three-man committee tasked to search for a new coach for the Black Stars has submitted their findings to the football association and an announcement will be done in the offing

Ghana Football Association has confirmed that the three-man committee that was tasked to search for a new coach for the senior national team after the dismissal of Charles Kwablah Akonnor has submitted their findings on Friday, September 17.

The committee made up of Ghana FA vice president and executive committee members Dr Randy Abbey and Zida concluded their search on Thursday evening and subsequently submitted their findings on Friday.

“The Three-Member Search Committee which was appointed by the Executive Council to make recommendations for a new coach of the Black Stars has on Thursday, September 16, 2021 submitted their report to the Ghana Football Association,” a Ghana FA statement read.

“The Committee made up of Vice President Mark Addo, Dr. Ransford Abbey and Alhaji Salifu Zida Shaibu was given three days to find a new coach and Assistant(s) for the Black Stars following the dismissal of Charles Akonnor on Monday.

“Following the submission of the report, the next steps will include finding internal alignment with relevant stakeholders and decision making by the Executive Council before signing of contract, official announcement and unveiling.

“Ghana currently have three (3) points after the two opening matches in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers. The Black Stars will take on Zimbabwe in a double header in October 2021,” the statement added.

AshesGyamera understands that since Ghana government will pay the new coach’s salaries and winning bonuses through GNPC, Ghana FA top officials must meet and convince Ghana president Nana Akufo Addo and his advisors before an official unveiling of the coach is made.

According to reports in the local media, Serbian Milovan Rajavec is leading the race to replace Akonnor.

Fifa bans Ashanti region-based club for gross misconducts

FIFA has placed a transfer ban on Ashanti Region based Division Two side Platini FC for failing to comply with a decision of FIFA’s Player Status Committee.

In a decision dated 18 February 2020, the Single Judge of the Players’ Status Committee determined the Platini FC has to pay an amount of EUR 16,250 plus interest of 5% p.a. as of 31 January 2018 to Sporting Clube da Covilhã, Portugal.

The Ghanaian lower tier side has however failed to comply with FIFA’s decision.

Following a request by lawyer for the Portuguese side, Jan Schweele, for harsher sanctions to be imposed on Platini FC, in addition to the currently implemented transfer ban, FIFA has announced that the said ban shall remain up until the due amount is paid and for the maximum duration of three entire and consecutive registration periods.

“In light of the foregoing, and considering that a transfer ban has been implemented in full on the Respondent, the club Platini FC, and is currently being served in accordance with art. 24bis of the RSTP, we wish to inform the parties that the said ban shall remain up until the due amount is paid and for the maximum duration of three entire and consecutive registration periods”, FIFA reiterated in a letter to both parties and to the GFA.

The GFA is tasked to ensure that Platini FC does not transfer any player this season and two subsequent seasons.

Seth Osei ‘begs’ Asante Kotoko supporters to contribute and sign him from rivals

The youngster has declared his readiness to join the Porcupine Warriors ahead of the start of the 2021/22 season

Ashanti Gold midfielder Seth Osei has admitted that he will like to join Asante Kotoko before the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season kicks off.

The midfielder became an instant hit for Ashanti Gold last season after joining them from Techiman Eleven Wonders and has been on the transfer wishlist of many clubs.

Although, Kotoko have made two separate official bids to Ashanti Gold, the club’s top hierarchy have rejected them since they could not meet the buyout clause of $80,000.

The situation has left Osei, who says he is staunch Kotoko supporter frustrated, and pleads that the supporters should come to his aid.

“I love Asante Kotoko Sporting Club. I’m ready to join the club because it is the club I love,” Osei told Pure FM

“I have discussed with Dr. Kwaku Frimpong about my desire to join Kotoko. My target now is to join Kotoko before the new season starts.

“I am a fan of Kotoko even though I’m an Ashanti Gold player. I am ready to play for Kotoko. I will plead to the Kotoko supporters to make contributions to pay the $80,000 that Dr. Kwaku Frimpong is demanding. I want to wear their Jersey to honor my late father,” he added.

Osei scored six goals and provided six assists last season. He also won two Man of the Match awards and helped the Ashanti Gold to reach the final of the FA Cup

Felix Annan not ready to join Hearts of Oak at the moment after Asante Kotoko exit

The shot-stopper says that he is ever ready to join any club after his exit from the Porcupine Warriors but insists the Phobians are not in the picture

Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper and captain Felix Annan has admitted his readiness to join any club in Ghana with the exception of Hearts of Oak.

The 26-year-old, after spending ten years at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, parted ways with the Porcupine Warriors after mutually terminating his contract on Thursday.

Annan fell out of favour under former Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu and he lost his starting role in the team to Kwame Baah and later Razak Abalora.

Although, reports suggest that several clubs have shown interest in his service, Annan insist that he is not ready to join the Phobians at the moment but anything can happen in the future.

“I’m ready to join any club since I’m a professional player. However, for now I don’t have any plans to join Hearts of Oak but nobody knows the future. I just need a place with sound environment so that I can perform like people know me,” Annan told Nhyira FM in an interview.

“I wish Hearts of Oak the best of luck in their participation in Caf Champions League. They should make the country proud because we are solidly behind them,” he added.

Annan also insisted that he will never jubilate when his new club defeats Asante Kotoko in a game in future as a sign of respect.

“As a sign of respect, I will never jubilate whenever my new team plays against Asante Kotoko and we win. I will be happy for the victory but won’t jubilate. I spent ten years at Kotoko and despite the ups and downs at club, I describe it as the best time in my life.

“I will never stand anywhere to say bad things about the club. I will never run the club down or whatever. I cherish it and I know my children will one day grow to love this club also

“My first game against Hearts of Oak was memorable. I came on to replace Soulama Abdoulaye during half time. The scoreline was 1-1 and we went on to win 3-1.

“I also think the FA Cup final victory over Hearts in Tamale was also memorable as well as the game against Nkana FC in the Caf Confederation Cup,” he added.

Annan is currently in United Kingdom with his wife to cool off after what looked like a difficult season for him.
