Ex-Ghana defender Shilla Illiasu has encouraged the GFA to appoint a top coach to manage the Black Stars.
This comes following Otto Addo’s decision to step down from the role following the country’s early elimination at the 2022 World Cup.
Ghana presented the youngest squad in Qatar with an average age of 24 years and 7 months.
It is for this reason, that Shilla Illiasu calls for a manager with experience to guide the talented but young Ghana team.
“The Ghana Football Association has to make sure this time we are contracting a top coach for the Black Stars,” Shilla Illiasu said.
“I think first of all Ghana we are fortunate to have one of the youngest squads as afar as Qatar 2022 is concerned. What it means is that as far as the future is concerned, we are up there,” Illiasu told Class Sports.
The former defender added, “What we need is – I made it clear from the onset, we need someone to be a coach, not a part-time coach, someone to guide them [the players] for the next 3 to 4 years, give him the project, give him the time, give him the plan, let him understand the task at hand, that’s what we need.
“Because you look at the calibre of our players, right now they need somebody to guide them.”
