Bernhard Lippert, GFA Technical Director
Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has clamored for the sacking of technical director Bernhard Lippert.
The German national was appointed by the domestic football governing body in October 2020 replacing long-serving Francis Oti Akenteng.
The Ghana FA terminated the contract of Charles Kwabla Akonnor together with his two deputies on Monday following Ghana’s uninspiring performances against Ethiopia and South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
The Ghana FA at its Executive Council meeting on Monday after the review and performance of the Black Stars in their last two games have changed direction to appoint a new coach.
A three-member committee led by Ghana FA Vice Chairman Mark Addo has been tasked to appoint a new coach in the next 72 hours.
In an interview with Metro TV, Nyaho Tamakloe blamed Lippert for Akonnor’s inability to succeed and has therefore called for his head.
“I would have fired him [Lippert] immediately because it is his advice that led CK [Akonnor] into this sort of situation in which he is unless CK ignores some of the advises he gives”
“But if CK listens to him carefully then some of the technical advises he has been given is totally rubbish and that led us to this sort of situation we find ourselves so if CK is gone, he should follow him,” he told Metro TV.
