Former Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has advocated for allowing former players to oversee the nation’s football program.
According to the former midfield player for Juventus and Inter Milan, success in football administration cannot be achieved solely by degrees.
This comes after the Black Stars were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the second time in a row after failing to win any of their games in the Ivory Coast.
With the country’s trophy drought now extending to 42 years, Asamoah believes the experience of ex-footballers is needed to turn things around.
In an exclusive interview with Kwadwo Sheldon, he said;
“I think we should give more chances to the footballers to run football,”
“I always say you might have a degree about so many things, but the things the footballer will know on the pitch and outside the pitch because he has been through it and he has learned it. He has that experience.
“So those kinds of things, I am not saying we should put all footballers. Probably their ideas and experiences. Most of the people at the FA haven’t been to Europe to experience how football is; maybe we have people that are good in different ways.”
The 35-year-old is currently a joint-owner of the Juventus Academy in Ghana.
