Why GPL talents struggle to replicate club brilliance at Black Stars level
Antoine Semenyo, Mohammed Kudus and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku have demonstrated their ability to dribble paas defenders, create goal scoring opportunities and influence matches at club level.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that Anthony Baffoe has withdrawn from the committee responsible for selecting a new head coach for the Black Stars. Baffoe was one of five members appointed to the committee, which also included former captain Stephen Appiah, legal practitioner Agbesi Dzakpasu, and high-performance specialist Faisal Chibsah.
The committee is led by Fred Pappoe. The members were responsible for recommending a permanent head coach for the senior national team following Carlos Queiroz's departure. However, GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum revealed that Baffoe has stepped down from the committee. No reason was given for his withdrawal, but he confirmed that the four remaining members - Appiah, Dzakpasu, Chibsah, and Pappoe - had been handling the task since their appointment.
The committee eventually chose Kim Lars Björkegren, the coach of Black Queens, as the new head coach, with Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram serving as temporary assistants. Ghana is set to play against Somalia on November 11th, with the return leg four days later.
