Desailly blames Ghana’s Afcon drought on egos and external interference

Former France and Chelsea Captain Marcel Desailly wants Ghana to focus on removing all factors that interfere with the quality of football on the pitch if winning the Afcon will become a reality.

The Black Stars of Ghana are still waiting to add to their fourth title which was won in 1986.

The team however made it to the finals of the competition in 1992, 2010 and 2015 but did not have enough to win it all.

Desailly who is a world cup winner with France believes the trophy drought will be overcome only when distractions are dealt with.

“If there aren’t egos on board with regards to who has achieved what.

“If the Minster of Sports doesn’t also interfere with the sports system.

“Yes they are helping with money but people should stay in their place.

“The coach should be allowed to coach, the president of the Federation should stay in his position while choosing the guy in charge and giving him all the tools to succeed.

“Board members should not be allowed to infiltrate the team to cause confusion.

“It will take time for Ghana to win the Afcon but if everything is in place and everyone is able to stay in their position,” he disclosed in an interview with footballmadeinGhana.com

Ghana’s last participation at Afcon 2019 ended in a disappointing round of 16 exit at the hands of Tunisia.
