YOU ARE RATHER PROMOTING HIS EARLY DEPARTURE FROM THE GHANA JOB. IN ANY CASE THAT IS HOW THE COACHING JOB IS. GET A BETTER OFFER AND MOVE; THEY GET A BETTER COACH AND YOU ARE SACKED.

"Renard who is currently club-less after being sacked by Lille just last month..."

"The Frenchman who was sacked by Ligue 1 club Lille after only 13 Ligue matches..."

"The Frenchman, 47, was however sacked by the Ligue 1 club last month after leading them to just two wins after 11 matches".

Why so much proclivity for redundancy in presentation, Ghanaian writers?
Why do you make us take in this professional immaturity everyday?
What's the problem?
Why don't you want to do better?

We shall always meet Akwasi Appiah. Forign coaches are no better. At least AA was patriotic. His problems in Brazil was caused by the GFA and the government. How did we expect the players to play wholeheartedly when their bonuses were not being paid and we played politics with everything?

I disagree with you the govt & GFA to the best of my knowledge have been creating problems for the BS since 2006,its the presence of the white coaches which has saved us.A white coach would have stood up to face them.

If indeed he is a good coach,he should go and coach the French national team.

Wat experience did AA have as coach before he was funded with tax Payers money to upgrade his coaching certifications and eventually given the job on a silver platter? Secondly, name any current or past bstar players who have invested in creating soccer structures, creating jobs in ghana like odenkey desailly is doing? Hypocrites like u come on the Internet to shame desailly and them turn around and go sit at his complex to enjoy urselves. Aren't u ashamed? Are you a saint? Wat is in ur closet? Desailly didn't play for ghanaians and so what? U will be a loser in life if you hold unto grudges

If Desailly is a good coach he will not fold his hands and wait for Ghana job.He should prove himself.If you care to know,AA was a deputy coach for the Black stars so he has sometime under his sleeves.He is the only Ghanaian coach to win gold at All African games with National U23.He also coached Kotoko.He was also the assistant coach to the late Jones Attuquayefio when he coached the black stars .Shine your eyes and stop being a slave to Desailly.

U think I'm a slave? I'm going to show u how a slave thinks then, u here....
1.AA was deputy under Leroy, milo and plavi. Yet, he found a way to bomb at afcon and wcup. How did that happen? Was he not paying attention?
2.AA was never a deputy under Attuquayfio so check ur facts. AA never coached kotoko,.so again check ur sources. Know ur stuff before u appeal u case.
3.wining all africa games is nothing to gloat about. It's cheaper and mediocre! AA had a chance to win inaugural chan trophy and failed. The same team milo had beated earlier in tournament round robin, congo. With AA as stand in coach, he mysteriously Found a way to lose to the same team. Is dat not strange to you? 3nil in ivory Coast under AA. Milo had been redcarded so he couldn't coach the game. U still think I'm a slave?
Listen, coaching is not difficult. To be a successful coach u need 3 variables.
1. You have to know how to deal with player egos. Players won't listen to you if they don't have anything common with you.
2. You have to know/understand the roles of each position and select the RIGHT player to FILL that position, premiumnly. If u select a kokoasa player to play a certain position, u will have urself to blame. Under AA, we saw how gbstar didn't have a bonified right winger or leftfull back.
3. Fitness and endurance. A coach must know what fitness regiments to take these players thru to work them up to win Games and trophies.
You see, these are the main objectives of a coach. Odenkey desailly has all these attributes. He knows what training/endurance regiments to run these players thru. He was a former player, remember? The local and foreign based players see themselves in desailly so they will listen to him. Thirdly, Odenkey desailly captained France, Chelsea, ac milan, wcup trophy winner. so he understands the role of each player on the field and what their responsibilities are. So you see, unless you are inward looking and have no iota of common sense know ur head. I don't expect you to disagree with me. Look, this is why ex players, turned coaches like dunga, guardiola, di matteo, klimsmann, Lowe, rijkaard, etc are all successful. U still think I'm a slave?

@ I can't believe somebody with any grain of sense would ask: "What can he do better than Akwasi Appiah ?"

How is this for an answer: Winning Two (2) AFCON trophies with two different national teams. He proved he was the best in Africa. It is not luck when you can take two teams with two different brands of soccer from two different parts of the world to the final of, and win, AFCON.

It is stupid to compare a mumu coach like Appiah to such accomplishments.

The MINDSET of Ghanaians is something I'm dreaming that I could work on. Because their brain is occupied with mediocrity, they do not push the ''so called leaders'' to give them what they deserve. They allow the leaders to 'use them' to achieve their personal selfish goals. trust me, no self respected world class coach will love to coach this shitty national team. Its funny when I hear ghanaians calling for Jose Mourinho to come and coach the B. Stars. I knew that Avram Grant will not last long, and we must be glad he is still in charge. This is what happens: The foreign coaches see the black stars at the world cup and they are like ''this country is full of talents, I can use them to achieve something big''. Unfortunately they come and see our league and they are like '' why the fuck did I even accept this job, I hope any team in Europe come and save me''. Whiles other countries are always busy adding value to their league by searching for quality sponsorships, Ghanaians are looking forward to send Shata Wale and Pastor Alewa to stadiums to increase spectators. Nkwasiasem at its peak.Something must be done for this Gfa prez and Ghana prez Mahama for them to go, I don't want to suggest assassination but they are really ruining this beloved country.

A coach who is always out of the country should give Gfa a clear indication of his disinterest in coaching the national team. He sees premier league more important than the black star.

In my opinion, the job must be given to Marcel Desailey, but because Nyantakyi and his gang of Mafia at the GFA can not influence him on their corrupt practices, they are refusing to hand him the job.
