Former Ghana U-17 assistant coach, Isaac Opeele Boateng has emphatically reiterated that Kurt Okraku's led administration can never reignite football in the country.

According to him, people around Mr Okraku are selfish and football administrators are only interested in their selfish gains.

The 2019/20 Ghana Premier League is set to kick off December 27.

"Ghana football can never be the same it is in the past," the former Asante Kotoko and Tudu Mighty Jet gaffer said on Asempa FM.

"There are people in football who are only interested in their selfish gains and the people around the president [Kurt Okraku] are also selfish.

"The hooliganisms, the bribery and the bad attitude of club administrators will still continue because we called for change and the Normalization Committee was worse.

"I will only believe there is change when people stop being selfish when clubs stop sacking coaches but as it stands, Kurt Okraku has a difficult job and for me, he cannot reignite the passion," he added.

Vice president Dr Bawumia will grace the launch of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season.
