Veteran football administrator, Jonathan Abe Pobee beleives there is something holding the Black Stars from achieving laurels.
The senior national team has dominated the media space for the wrong reasons.
Chris Hughton, who is the head coach for the side was expected to be sacked due to the porous performance of the team in recent times.
Hughton, who signed a 21-month deal in March earlier this year held a meeting with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council last week ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Reacting to the news, Abe Pobee pointed to coaching as the least of Ghana’s problems but touched on something that can’t be explained in physical terms.
“There is something holding this Black Stars. It’s not a curse because we are not doing the right thing," he told Citi Sports/
"The taxpayers are crying so how do you succeed? How can God give you luck to perform so forget about coaching. It’s not a matter of coaching," he added.
Ghana is billed to play Madagascar on November 17 at the Baba Yara Stadium and Comoros on November 21 in the first two games in Group I of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The team is due to compete in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next year in Ivory Coast; Ghana last won the competition in 1982.
