Grant arrives in Ghana ahead of AFCON qualifiers

Black Stars coach Avram Grant has arrived in Ghana ahead of the Africa cup of nation’s qualifiers against Mauritius, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.

Grant has been shuttling between Europe and America where he has kept close tabs on Ghanaian players who ply their trade across the two continents.

The former Chelsea boss led Ghana to an impressive second place finish in Equatorial Guinea despite taking charge of the team barely three weeks to the competition.

Grant has been tasked to win the next edition of the AFCON competition and showed immerse swagger in his team’s performance in Equatorial Guinea scoring 10 goals and conceding 3 on route to the finals where they eventually lost 8-9 on penalties to Cote d'Ivoire.

His arrival two weeks before the game against Mauritius indicates the seriousness the Israeli gaffer attaches to the game against Mauritius.
