1978 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] winner, Abdul Razak says he would have ended the country's trophy drought if he was the head coach of the Black Stars.

Ghana, a four-time African champions have failed to lift Africa's prestigious trophy after winning the tournament in 1982.

According to the former Asante Kotoko gaffer, he should be given the opportunity to manage the Black Stars in future due to his qualities and experience.

“I was an assistant coach for the National team and that was the period where I should have been appointed as head coach, I am sure we would have won the AFCON trophy by now if that had happened," he told Citi Sports in an interview.

“I believe in what I can do if given the chance, but I was not given the chance, even till date.

“If we are talking about winning in Ghana and in foreign clubs, I have won it, Why not try me and see what I can do.” He concluded.

Razak had a short spell as assistant Black Stars coach back in 2000 under then Head coach, Guiseppe Dosena.

Ghana has played in the 1992, 20101 and 2015 Afcon finals but have failed to end the trophy drought.

However, CK Akonnor have been tasked to end the trophy drought in 2022 in Cameroon.
