It’s a mistake to say local coaches are not good enough to coach Black Stars – Maxwell Konadu

Former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu believes it is a mistake to suggest that local coaches are not good enough to handle the Ghana national team.

In recent times, only Kwasi Appiah has been a home-trained coach to lead the Black Stars, a role that has largely been dominated by expatriates.

Konadu, who has served as assistant coach of the Black Stars on two occasions, is confident that Ghanaian coaches will succeed when given the opportunity to lead the team.

We have very good local coaches. MaybeI don't know the impression at the management levelbut to tell me Ghanaian coaches are not there yet, that's a mistake. When we get the opportunity, we'll do well, Konadu told Joy Sports.

Konadu recently coached Black Leopards in South Africas second tier but left the role a few months later and is now back in Ghana.

This followed his success with Nsoatreman FC, whom he guided to a historic Ghana FA Cup title last season.
