Former Ghana and Hearts of Oak winger, Charles Taylor believes his ex-teammate Sammy Adjei deserves to be the goalkeeper’s trainer for the Black Stars.

Since his retirement, Adjei has been in and out of football, but in an interview with Angel TV, Taylor reflected on Adjei’s career and the impact he could have had off the pitch.

Taylor added a cautionary note on how Ghana sometimes fails to retain and properly utilize its football talent.
