Local, or foreign the coach needs to be qualified, period. Whatever form that comes in, the coach should be fully qualified to coach the national team! Not because you want a 'local' coach. Ugh!

Tanko hasn't won anything in his career to be dubbed BS coach. Are they going crazy?? Then l will suggest you give the job back to Kwesi Appiah.

I SAID THIS LONG AGO, THAT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, GHANA WOULD DITCH COACH GRANT JUST AS THEY DID TO COACH APPIAH. SO HOW DIFFERENT WOULD IT BE WITH COACH TANKO? ASSUMING COACH TANKO IS THE BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB, IS HE GOING TO BE TREATED ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN COACH APPIAH OR GRANT? AS LONG AS THIS MERRY-GO-ROUND KIND OF GAME CONTINUES WITH GHANA AND HER BLAK STAR COACHES, OUR SOCCER SHALL REMAIN IN LIMBO. WE ALL HAILED GRANT AS HE TOOK OVER, WE ADMIRED HIS FIRST FEW DAYS ON THE JOB, THEN COMPLAINTS STARTED - HE STAYS IN EUROPE FOR TOO LONG, HE DOES NOT USE LOCAL PLAYERS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO WHY DON'T WE HIRE ONE OF THE TOP COACHES IN THE WORLD - GUARDIOLA, MAURINHO, WENGER, CONTE, JURGEN AND BE FREE FOR EVER? IBRAHIM TANKO, WELL, LET US WAIT AND SEE.

My position on this matter is that if in fact, all this is true, just fire Grant now and give him his severance and put Tanko in now. This could have been done before Rwanda. Once again, timing is totally wrong.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE, NOT TANKO, then bring back Akwesi Appiah, at least he has coaching badges and has independently handled teams all by himself! Tanko has no badges even after all these years as an assistant to Finke! He even has no badge to even coach a province team in Germany,(NOT EVEN THE CAF CERT B) then if anything at all call Otto Addo ( HE HAS THE HIGHEST COACHING BADGE- FIFA FOOTBALL COACHING BADGE) to take that job and send Tanko to do the basic coaching badges and hand maybe the u-17 or an Acadamy team to him to prove his mettle! WHAT A BIG JOKE IF NOT NONSENSE!!!

Mr minister just go ahead n sign on ibrahim n damn this skin pain n "pull him down" nyantakyi gfa...but in the first place what at all is mentally wrong with this gfa always going for high paid foriegn coaches almost paying them outrageous salaries, 50k dollars per month now, since 1984 and with their awful results yet nyantakyi n his gfa kept on giving all manners of reasons why they cant sign on local coaches...well the reason is simply this ; they just cant stand a local coach taking at least $10k dollars whiles they the suppose employers earn far less. this is just the issue. stupidly enough they choose to pay $50k to absentee avram grant...and othrrs before him.
after all as I speak now almost 95% or more of all our intl sports laurels were won by our local sportmen n team why this stupid obstinacy n stinking posture by our gfa..to hire locals..why..?
Mr minister just snub these corrupt n envious goats at the gfa...and i urge all local coaches to revolt agst them n damn these despicable xters at the gfa...in anycase is football a rocket science that we cant even rely on local resource to win competitions ....haaaba what kind of jimi jimi scoundrels are this nyantakyi n his cohorts...they simply dont want the local coaches to earn that much bcos of this skin pain envy n MBA..meba aha atse n stinking behaviour by the gfa
