Yaw Preko advises against parting ways with Otto Addo and instead advocates for expanding the technical staff
Former Black Stars player Yaw Preko has urged the Ghana Football Association not to make any changes to the team’s coaching staff ahead of the Qatar FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Doha on November 20, 2022.
“The coach has to insist.” If there will be any changes to the technical staff, you must consult with the head coach. It will not be in our best interests as a group if you put someone on him with whom he is not prepared to cooperate. The World Cup is rapidly approaching. He has a technical adviser and a directorate to whom he may speak if he believes he requires assistance,” he told Asempa FM.
“Otto, in his opinion, is not reticent to brief his technical bench,” said the Great Olympic’s trainer. For technological changes, there is not much time. When you try to modify anything, everything becomes jumbled. You must add up if at all possible, but switching to the World Cup right now is not the wisest move. Increase technical people as needed, but don’t impose anybody on him.” However, the new individuals you bring in will have a notion of a style of play that will be ineffective at this time, with just one match remaining before the world championship”.
“When there was no chance for the Black Stars to qualify for the World Cup, we were all relieved when the technical team did it,” Yaw Preko said of Otto Addo’s playing technique. After playing their two exhibition games against Brazil and Nicaragua, Otto and his technical team realise there is still much to be done. He was able to gain a grasp of the system and the players that will function inside it by using these two friendly games as an experiment.”
He continued, “I don’t think Otto Addo will bring in fresh players again. In these two friendly games, he uses two different strategies.” The inclusion of Hanson Odio might be beneficial. If not, we must rely on the one we already have. He appears to be well aware of the type of music we prefer. In addition, before the World Cup, we play Switzerland in our final exhibition game. I’m confident we’ll see Otto Addo’s strategy in action and learn where he stumbles. He repeated”.
Kylian Mbappe of Paris St-Germain has been named the new captain of the France national team.
He takes over for Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who announced his retirement from international football in January.
On Tuesday, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Deschamps’ selection of Mbappe as captain and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann as vice-captain via social media.
“Kylian meets all the requirements to have this responsibility,” France manager Didier Deschamps told French TV channel TF1 in an interview to be aired on Sunday.
“On the field as in the life of the group, by being a unifying element.”
On Tuesday, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Deschamps’ selection of Mbappe as captain and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann as vice-captain via social media.
Mbappe was the top scorer at last year’s World Cup, helping France to a second consecutive World Cup final, which they lost to Argentina.
He scored two goals against Croatia in the 2018 final and was named the tournament’s best young player as France won the World Cup for the second time.
Deschamps’ team faces the Netherlands in their first Euro 2024 qualifier at the Stade de France on Friday, before facing the Republic of Ireland on Monday.
After being released from prison in Sweden earlier this month, Asante Kotoko winger Joseph Amoako has returned to the club.
Amoako, who was on loan at relegated Swedish Allsvenskan club Helsingborgs IF for the season, was reportedly found guilty of statutory rape of a minor in Sweden and sentenced to two years in prison.
After being charged with having sexual relations with a minor, the 20-year-old was detained in Swedish Police custody in November 2022 for a court trial.
Due to the rape allegations, Helsingborgs IF cancelled his loan deal before the contract with his parent club, Asante Kotoko, expired in January 2023.
The Helsingborgs District Court initially found the talented young winger guilty on two counts and sentenced him to 24 months in prison, but the charges were dropped after an appeal.
Amoako, who arrived in Ghana last week, paid a visit to his teammates on Wednesday morning at the Adako Jachie Training Complex in Kumasi.
After Kingsley Sarfo and Kwame Bonsu, he was the third Ghanaian footballer to be wrongfully imprisoned in Sweden on rape charges.
Amoako struggled for playing time at Helsingborgs IF, where he appeared in only ten (10) games — 295 minutes — across all competitions.
Asante Kotoko did not register him for this season, so he is ineligible to play for the Porcupine Warriors in the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.
Chris Hughton, the new head coach of the Black Stars, will be introduced today in Kumasi at the SG Mall in Ayigya.
Following successful negotiations with the Sports Ministry and the Ghana Football Association, the 64-year-old who replaced Otto Addo has been in charge of the team since last month.
Hughton’s contract details and other pertinent information will be revealed at the unveiling.
Ghana will play Angola in a double header AFCON Qualifier at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday, March 23, 2023, before travelling to Luanda for the rematch on March 27.
