Kwesi Appiah Blasts 'Foreigner’ Nana Agyemang

Ex-Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has launched a scathing attack on self-acclaimed coach and football pundit Nana Agyemang for questioning his credentials as coach of the Black Stars.

He described Nana Agyemang as a fake coach and a foreigner who ought not to speak on issues concerning Ghana national teams.

The dread-lock haired radio presenter, who is suspected to be Nigerian with his real name being Bolagun Babatunde, has consistently belittled Appiah's CAF License A certification as only fit for 'Physical Education teachers'.

Agyemang, who claims to be a coach of UEFA License B certification, has also questioned the capacity of Kwesi Appiah and his tactics deployed during games, linking it to his 'inferior' coaching certification.

But the soft-spoken coach, in a venomous response, said Nana Kwaku Agyemang does not deserve to speak on issues concerning Ghanaian national football teams because he is a foreigner who has only bought a Ghanaian citizenship.

'I don't believe he [Nana Kwaku Agyemang] is a coach that is why he is talking like that,' Appiah said during an interview on Metro TV's Good Evening Ghana show.

'Because if he is a coach he will know that these courses are from FIFA and it is done based on your location.

'So if you are in Europe, you do the UEFA one and if you are in Africa, you do the CAF one. That is why it is called FIFA/CAF course and it is organized by FIFA alongside CAF.

'I don't want to attack him because he keeps getting on my nerves. I believe Ghanaians should be talking about Ghana football.

'The Black Stars is for Ghanaians - we talk about our national team.

'He is a foreigner and should talk about - may be Kotoko or Hearts of Oak.

'He shouldn't go talking about our own national team.  We have suffered for the national team from youth up to now.

'If a Ghanaian is criticizing or talking about my knowledge or anything, I don't have a problem; but not a foreigner who bought the name 'Nana Agyemang'.  So he should not criticise me.'

Agyemang attempted to coach in Ghana with his UEFA License B on his arrival in Accra from London, but his foray into coaching ended in abject failure as he was sacked at Eleven Wise and Okwahu United.
