Former Vice-President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Fred Pappoe, has urged caution in the quest for a capable coach, highlighting the financial considerations involved. The GFA has established a five-member committee to find a competent coach to rejuvenate the Black Stars.
While supporting the decision to part ways with Coach Chris Hughton due to underwhelming performance, Pappoe emphasized the financial impact of securing a top-notch coach.
He pointed out that the government's financial strength would be a decisive factor in attracting high-profile coaches like the suggested replacement, two-time AFCON winner Frenchman Herve Renard.
Acknowledging the significant cost associated with renowned coaches, Pappoe stressed that if Ghana aimed to enlist the services of top-tier professionals, a substantial financial investment would be necessary.
He further emphasized the importance of aligning the coach's philosophy with Ghana's football culture.
“If Ghana intends to engage high-profile coaches of the calibre of Herve Renard, a two-time AFCON winner, or others noted for their successful track record, then as a country we must be prepared to make a significant financial investment,”
Pappoe urged clarity on the budget allocated for the coaching position, questioning whether the government was ready to commit to the substantial fees demanded by elite coaches.
He cautioned against pursuing coaches with hefty financial demands, suggesting that it might face resistance from the Ghanaian public.
"In the end, we must define our budget for that position. Are we prepared to pay €35,000 or €40,000 a month for a coach?" Pappoe questioned.
"If we think that is what we can conveniently afford, or we want to go for the crème de la crème of coaches like Herve Renard and the rest, who would be calling for huge sums of money, that may appear repugnant to Ghanaians," Mr Pappoe advised.
