Former Black Stars assistant Coach George Boateng has sounded the alarm on Ghana's football woes, stating that the team's decline has accelerated since his departure.
In an interview on Soccer Africa, Boateng attributed the team's struggles in recent times to a lack of continuity, emphasizing that the success of the national team relies heavily on this crucial aspect. "I'm a very strong believer in continuity.
I said it straight after the tournament [2023 AFCON] and also in the media that as disappointing as it is, the federation has to analyze. " The 49-year-old Dutch international, who was part of the technical staff that guided Ghana to the 2023 AFCON, believes that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) failed to analyze the team's mistakes and make necessary changes after the tournament. "You have to go in-depth to see where the mistakes were in terms of management, players, staff and then you replace those that were not competent enough; whether being a playing body, staff member or technical staff.
And then you rebuild on that but I'm not too sure if that has been done after the African Cup of Nations." Ghana's dismal performance in the 2023 AFCON, where they blew a two-goal lead in the dying minutes of the game, resulting in a draw and subsequent exit from the group stage, was a bitter pill to swallow.
