Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has issued a cautionary message to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) regarding its quest for a new coach for the Black Stars.

Expressing his views, the Member of Parliament for Suame advised against appointing a well-established coach for the team. "Let’s not go for already-made coaches because they don’t add value to the national team.

The up-and-coming ones can help in building a solid team for the Black Stars. It’s time to dwell on the young ones as it was previously done," he emphasised during parliamentary proceedings.

Following Ghana's disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ivory Coast emerged as champions, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) made the decision to part ways with the former Premier League manager and the entire technical staff.

Now, the GFA is actively seeking a new coach to lead the national team.

Amidst these developments, allegations of interference in player selection within the various national teams have emerged in recent years, drawing scrutiny towards the GFA.

These claims resurfaced during the 2023 AFCON when Richard Ofori, who was inactive, was selected as the first-choice goalkeeper over Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Jojo Wollacott.

As a result, Chris Hughton's team exited the tournament at the group stage without securing a single victory, ultimately leading to his dismissal from the role.
